Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Tubi Cartridge G16 is an essential companion for gravel cyclists who run tubeless setups and want a minimalist, reliable repair solution. This compact tool integrates a tire reamer and plug insertion tool into a single CO2 cartridge-style pod, allowing for swift, mid-ride punctures repairs. While it offers unmatched portability for its feature set, users should note that the kit requires a separate CO2 inflator if they wish to utilize the inflation function during the same repair process.

FAQs
Can I store my own brand of plugs in the G16?
The storage compartment is designed for standard 3.5mm tire repair plugs; while other brands may fit if they are the same diameter, performance is optimized with original Topeak plugs.
Does this kit include a CO2 inflator head?
No, the Tubi Cartridge G16 is a tool pod; it is designed to be used in conjunction with a separate CO2 inflator if inflation is required.
Is the tool waterproof?
While the shell is durable and keeps dust and moisture out of the internal compartment, it is not submersible. It should be wiped dry after exposure to heavy rain or mud.
How many plugs does it hold?
The storage compartment is designed to house up to five 3.5mm x 50mm tire repair plugs.
What is the total weight of the unit?
The unit weighs exactly 38.3 grams.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting the plug into the tire
Ensure the reamer has been used adequately to clear the puncture site and that the plug is centered correctly in the insertion tool's eyelet.
Plug slips out immediately after insertion
Make sure you are inserting the plug deep enough into the tire and twisting the tool slightly before pulling it out to ensure the plug catches on the internal casing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tubi Cartridge G16 is ready for the road, store it in one of the approved Topeak mounts or a secure, dry saddlebag compartment. To care for the tool, ensure the reamer and insertion tips are cleaned of any remaining sealant or debris after each use to prevent corrosion or hardening of residue. If the tool is used in wet or muddy conditions, wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth before storing it back in its protective shell. When replenishing your repair plugs, ensure you only use standard 3.5mm tire repair plugs to maintain compatibility with the insertion tool's geometry.
