CO2 Cartridges & Inflators

About

CO2 cartridges and inflators are the fastest way to reseat a tubeless tyre after a roadside puncture. This range covers 16g threaded cylinders, inflator adaptors and complete plug repair kits from Whites, Oxford and Rocky Creek Designs, so you can plug the hole and ride home without lugging a compressor or air pump. CO2 inflation is built for emergency tubeless repairs, not for daily top-ups. A single 16g threaded cartridge holds enough compressed gas to seat a plugged motorcycle tyre, and carrying 2 to 3 cylinders covers a full reflate on most road and adventure tyres. Match your kit to the job before you ride.

One 16g charge raises a 120-section road tyre to roughly 50 to 70 percent of its placard pressure, so plan on multiple cartridges to reach a rideable 30 to 42 PSI. CO2 leaks faster than air through the casing, so reflate with a proper pump within 24 to 48 hours and confirm the plug holds. Carry a repair kit alongside your safety gear: a roadside puncture is no use if your jacket and gloves are not rated to EN 17092, where AAA is the highest abrasion class and A is the entry level, or your back protector falls short of CE Level 2 over CE Level 1. Keep cartridges away from heat above 50 degrees Celsius and check threads for corrosion every 6 to 12 months. Pair a plug kit with mechanical tools and a compact pump for redundancy, and you are off the shoulder in under 5 minutes.
