  • c02 tire inflation system

    anyone have any experience with these? can you pump up a tire with one cartridge?

    i would much rather do this than carry a can of fix-a-flat.

    Takes two or three to pump up a Valk tire.

    Go to Wallmart, bicycle section and get the small ($19) 12v compressor. Put alligator clips on it if you don't have a cig lighter. You can even take the plastic covers off it and make it smaller.

    No bigger than fix-o-flat, and weighs less, and will air up a bunch more tires.

    I also carry a mushroom plug gun...makes permanent repairs to tubless tires.

    Used it a bunch...but not on my machine yet! I keep fixing other dead bikes I find on the road....

      well i picked one up today over my lunch break. saw one at the local shop for $25. it's tiny. will take 2-3 canisters to fill up a tire.

      the one i got will also take the non-threaded cheap-o ones you can buy for stuff like BB guns.
