FAQs

How many times can I inflate a tire with one CO2 cartridge?

Typically, one 16g CO2 cartridge is sufficient to inflate one road bike tire to a usable pressure. For mountain bike tires, it may provide partial inflation or require two cartridges for full inflation.

Are the CO2 cartridges refillable?

No, CO2 cartridges are single-use and must be replaced after inflation.

What is the purpose of the hand insulation sleeve?

The sleeve protects your hand from extreme cold generated when the CO2 gas rapidly expands and cools during inflation.

Can I store my phone in this pack?

The pack has small pockets for ID, money, and keys. A smartphone may fit depending on its size, but it's primarily designed for smaller essentials to maintain a low profile.

Do I need separate tire levers?

This kit does not include tire levers. It is recommended to carry a separate set of tire levers for removing the tire from the rim.

How should I store the patch kit?

Store the patch kit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve the adhesive on the patches.

What kind of valve does the CO2 inflator work with?

The Air Rush Elite CO2 inflator is designed to work with both Presta and Schrader valves. Please ensure you have the correct head configuration for your valve type.

Troubleshooting

CO2 inflator not releasing gas

Ensure the CO2 cartridge is screwed in fully and the inflator head is properly seated on the tire valve. Check that the cartridge is not empty or damaged.

CO2 inflating too quickly or leaking

Verify the inflator mechanism is functioning correctly. Ensure the valve is open on the inner tube and the inflator head is securely attached.

Patch not adhering to the inner tube

Thoroughly clean and roughen the tube surface around the puncture with the provided sandpaper or abrasive. Ensure the patch is applied firmly and evenly, and allow adequate curing time before inflation.

Pack contents are difficult to access

Ensure the zipper is fully functional. The stretch neoprene might require a firm pull to open; try gripping the zipper tab firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact and comprehensive kit for roadside repairs.
  • Fast tire inflation with included CO2 system.
  • Includes essential patching materials.
  • Comfortable to carry in a jersey pocket.
  • Organized storage for small essentials like ID and keys.

Cons

  • CO2 cartridges are single-use (though the inflator is reusable).
  • Limited capacity for items beyond basic repair essentials.
  • May require separate tire levers if not already carried.
  • Cold from CO2 can be uncomfortable without the sleeve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The CO2 inflator threads directly onto the CO2 cartridges. Ensure the cartridge is securely seated before attaching to the tire valve. The patch kit requires standard preparation of the inner tube surface before application.

Compatibility: The CO2 inflator is compatible with standard Presta and Schrader valves (check inflator head type). The 16g cartridges are standard for most CO2 systems. The pack itself is designed to fit most standard cycling jersey pockets.

Care: After use, check the components for damage. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Store the patch kit in a cool, dry place. Ensure CO2 cartridges are fully depleted before disposal according to local regulations. Store the hand insulation sleeve and inflator with the patch kit and any personal items.
