Inflate Your Tires with CO2

@paradox963 9 years ago

Also once you get home you should deflate your tire and re-inflate with normal air, C02 will leach out the tire faster than air so while it will be fine for the rest of your ride after a flat it may not make it through a ride on a subsequent day.

Two comments: 1- Pro bike has one of the best valve to inflate tires with CO2. You will not loose any CO2 2- allow some time after disconnecting the valve/ CO2 before closing the valve on the tube. Reason. There is a seal on the valve that was exposed to low temperature. By closing it while frozen it will have more chance to fail. By allowing some time you will let the ambient temperature to equalize at the seal level and therefore helping it to perform.

Best Video on CO2 inflation , why ? this guy addresses the shutoff valve by , yes blowing on the empty ( sans co2 cartridge ) to convince yourself usually clockwise is CLOSED , profoundly important lest its open and you freeze a finger to absolute 0 F. # 2 ) the place to learn is not under duress while out on the road but at home to practice how this thing actually works - solid gold advice !

Thanks for this video. I just want to add that a friend of mine used a CO2 cartridge in cold weather and the tire valve froze and fractured off. So take care in cold weather because the CO2 cartridges do get very cold. And thanks for all the great videos.

Awesome video! I am looking into switching from a pump to co2.

Thank you, very usefull.

3:20 3:20 Why should I stick the cartridge in uncomfortable position. Is CO2 in liquid state and horizontal position my leak it faster?

@jempro1674 7 years ago

I recently filled a tyre with CO2 and it only stayed up for only 24 hours. With air from my foot pump inflates them forever. I read that CO2 is impermeable to inner tubes. Is this true?

@J2897Tutorials 8 years ago

I wonder if it would be possible to pump 100PSI of normal air into some kind of cartridge and use that to fill a mountain bike tyre to 50PSI?

Hey, Dingledork, swing and a miss. My 7 yr old daughter repaired her own tire and inflated with CO2 and she didn't leak any, not a peep. It also might be a better idea to recommend recycling over disposal. Only we can make a difference. Or the canister could be designed to bio-degrade quickly with some positive effect but I can't hold you responsible for making that happen can I?

How about a 26 inch beach cruiser tire what size cartridge would I need

Wish I saw this and the recommendation of "practice" before I got a flat... LOL. Luckily Uber provided a helpful ride to the bike shop. Lol

why is there not one video of this working with a Schrader valves ?

@samn5362 5 years ago

is it safe to use c02 even if there is compressed air in the tire? or when there is c02 in the tire and you top it off with compressed air is that ok or can the tire explode?
