Product Information
Full details
The Lezyne Threaded CO2 Cartridge 16g is an essential tool for road cyclists and commuters who need a fast, reliable inflation solution during roadside repairs. This compact, high-pressure cartridge is designed to fully inflate a standard 700c tire in seconds, making it a perfect addition to any minimalist saddlebag. While it offers unmatched speed and convenience, it is a single-use product, meaning users must carry enough spares for their specific ride distance and tire setup.

FAQs
Will one 16g cartridge fully inflate a mountain bike tire?
A 16g cartridge is optimized for 700c road tires. It may not provide enough pressure for high-volume mountain bike tires.
Can I save a partially used cartridge for later?
No, once the seal is punctured, the CO2 will escape over time. Always treat it as a single-use item.
Are these cartridges compatible with non-Lezyne inflators?
Yes, they feature a standard threaded design compatible with most industry-standard CO2 inflators.
Why does the cartridge get cold?
This is a natural result of the rapid expansion of compressed gas (the Joule-Thomson effect). It is normal.
How should I dispose of an empty cartridge?
Empty cartridges should be recycled as scrap metal once the entire contents have been discharged.
Troubleshooting
Air is leaking from the connection between the cartridge and inflator.
Ensure the cartridge is screwed in straight and tightened firmly to create a proper seal.
The tire is not inflating even though the trigger is pulled.
Check that the cartridge has been fully pierced by the inflator head and that there are no obstructions in the valve stem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your ride, always verify that your CO2 inflator head is compatible with threaded cartridges. To install, thread the cartridge into the inflator head until it is hand-tight; do not overtighten, as this may damage the internal seal. Store cartridges in a dry, room-temperature environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid exposing the cartridges to extreme heat, such as leaving them in a hot car, as the internal pressure can increase significantly. Always dispose of empty cartridges according to your local metal recycling guidelines.
