FAQs
What is included in the Topeak Tubicartridge R16?
The kit includes a CNC Aluminium/Stainless steel cartridge, a 1.5mm plug insertion tool, and five 1.5mm x 50mm tire repair plugs.
Can I use this kit without a CO2 inflator?
Yes, you can use the repair tools to plug the tire on their own. However, you will need a separate method to inflate the tire afterward.
How do I mount this kit to my bike?
The Tubicartridge R16 is designed to be mounted using compatible Topeak accessories such as the HybridMaster Mini, TubiMaster GX DF, NanoMaster DF, or TubiMaster GXT Bolt-on onto saddle rails or bike frames.
What size tire punctures can this kit repair?
The kit is designed for typical road bike tubeless tire punctures. The 1.5mm plugs are suitable for most common pinholes and small cuts.
How many repair plugs come with the kit?
The kit comes with five 1.5mm x 50mm tire repair plugs.
Is this kit suitable for tubeless gravel or mountain bike tires?
While it can be used for tubeless tires, the 1.5mm plugs are primarily designed for road bike tires. Larger tires may require wider plugs.
Troubleshooting
Plugs are difficult to insert
Ensure the hole in the tire is clean and slightly enlarged if necessary. Apply a small amount of water or sealant to the plug to help it slide in.
Kit does not fit with my existing pump
The Tubicartridge R16 is designed to integrate with specific Topeak CO2 inflators. If you are using a non-compatible pump, you may need to use the repair tools separately and then use your pump for inflation.
Repair plug is not holding air
Check if the plug was inserted correctly and fully. Ensure the puncture was not too large for the plug. If the leak persists, try a second plug or consider it a temporary fix until a full repair can be made.
