Co2 Air Cartidges

[ufkacbln]

I have googled them and can see the cartidges but not the holders and they do look like an essential piece of kit out in the countryside, any places where I could buy them would be greatly appreciated

You may be led by your LBS if you want to have a look although bulk bys of cartridges from t'internet is cheaper

Most retailers do them, just Google CO2 Inflator

wiggle have the ultraflate at the moment.

bearing in mind that when the cartridge(s) run out, it's useless, so a back up mini pump will always be worth having. If weight is the issue, just take the mini pump

I just take 1 cartridge in the unit, and 2 spare. They weigh very little and take up no room in a saddle pack.

There are certain mathematical rules which apply to cycling. The most common is the N+1 bike ownership theorem

Less known is the N-1 theorem where N is the number of cartridges you have and N-1 is the number you need.

As in however many cartridges you carry you will need one more

I seem to have been caught out a few times this year. Double p*******s twice, not enough c02, only carrying one tube.

So now I carry one tube, a pump, tools and glueless patches (what they called?)

I 'll probably still get caught out but I also carry £10(beer money) and most importantly a phone. Mrs B uses find my phone function on the iCloud/iPhone thingymijig when I phone needing help, she's a cracker
