Not much to say about CO2 cartridges. They either work or they don't. These work. They will fill your tires with enough gas to finish your ride.
This is the most affordable way to purchase CO2 cartridges that i have found.
Always work when needed
just air. :)
Can't go wrong with these good quality CO2 cartridges.
They work as needed every time.
There work as needed every time.
In was a hot day on a not too great stretch of road. You know the sinking feeling that comes with a rear wheel flat. Fifteen minutes later with the help of on CO2 cartridge ( and Lezyne inflator) I was back on the way home. What's not to like? I carry two of them in my bag. Just in case.
I'm fortunate to say that I haven't had to purchase a whole lot of these. However, all it takes is one ride to remind you that you might ought to have a few extras on hand. I use the Portland Design Works Shiny Object inflator. These thread in securely and stay put. They also fit in my small under-saddle bag, which holds a spare tube, levers, inflator, tire boot, etc. I find that these will only inflate a 25c tire/tube to about 80-85 psi, which is adequate to get through the ride. If you happen to have a hand pump and get the tube partially inflated, then these are great at topping off to higher pressure. It all depends on what your tire/tube situation is and what you're willing to carry on a ride.
Tip: Cut a portion of an old tube and put it around the C02 cartridge. These things frost up immediately as they expend their compressed CO2. So, after mounting your tight tire back on the rim of your expensive carbon wheel, it can hurt when your tenderized flesh pulls loose from the ice-cold surface of the cartridge. An old tube will protect your skin and makes the cartridge just a bit less bulky in your saddle bag or jersey pocket.
They put more air in the tire per dollar, due to the lower price! Sweet.
I always carry 2. Insurance.
Great deal on an important item that should last me for a few years.
Cartridge inflation is useful when you need save space, weight, and time. I keep a fresh tube and inflator system ready to go on my road bike that has scarce room for a pump. Otherwise, this is a commodity product that does what it's supposed to do.
Works great for quick inflation. I've always got two with me.
Threaded CO2 is so easy to use and compact with the screw on head.
Cartridges worked fine and were reasonably priced.
Nice change from the pump!
tires inflated quickly. no downsides
A frame pump makes your bike look ugly and a hand pump that fits in your pocket is frustratingly slow. Get yourself a good valve and pack a couple cartridges. Don't forget the ideal gas law and wear gloves!
Better deal than bike stores
