FAQs
What size CO2 cartridges does this inflator use?
The Lezyne Trigger Drive CO2 is compatible with all standard threaded CO2 cartridges, commonly available in 12g, 16g, 20g, and 25g sizes.
How do I know when the CO2 cartridge is empty?
You will notice a significant drop in inflation speed and pressure. The cartridge will feel lighter, and no more gas will be released when the trigger is pressed.
Can I use this inflator with tubeless tires?
Yes, the Trigger Drive CO2 works with both standard inner tubes and tubeless tire setups, as it connects directly to the valve stem.
Is the neoprene sleeve washable?
It is best to wipe the neoprene sleeve clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the material.
How many tires can I inflate with one 16g cartridge?
A single 16g cartridge is typically sufficient to inflate one standard road bike tire to a usable pressure (around 60-80 PSI). Larger tires or higher pressures may require a larger cartridge or a second cartridge.
What is the benefit of the Trigger Valve system?
The Trigger Valve system allows for precise control over the CO2 release. You can stop inflation at any time by releasing the trigger, which helps prevent over-inflation and conserves CO2.
Does it come with a CO2 cartridge?
Yes, the Lezyne Trigger Drive CO2 typically includes one 16g threaded CO2 cartridge to get you started.
Troubleshooting
CO2 not flowing when trigger is pressed
Ensure the CO2 cartridge is fully screwed in. Check that the chuck head is securely seated on the valve stem. Verify the valve stem is not clogged.
Leaking CO2 from the chuck head
Ensure the chuck head is pushed firmly onto the valve. If the leak persists, check the valve stem seal and the chuck head's internal seal for damage or debris.
Difficulty threading cartridge
Ensure no debris is present in the cartridge threads or the inflator's receiving threads. Try rotating the cartridge slightly while threading.
Neoprene sleeve slips off
Ensure both the inflator body and the sleeve are dry before use. The sleeve is designed to fit snugly; if it is stretched, it may require replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Provides controlled inflation, reducing CO2 waste.
Compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves.
Durable construction with CNC-machined aluminum and brass.
Includes a protective neoprene sleeve for hand comfort.
Extremely lightweight and compact for easy transport.
Cons
Requires threaded CO2 cartridges, which must be purchased separately after the initial one.
CO2 inflation is a temporary fix and may require more frequent top-ups than air.
Small size means it can be easily misplaced if not stored carefully.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Screw a threaded CO2 cartridge firmly into the base of the inflator.
Select the appropriate end of the Twin Chuck head for your valve type (Presta or Schrader).
Push the chuck head firmly onto the valve stem until it seals.
Press the trigger to begin inflation. Control inflation by the pressure applied to the trigger.
Once the tire is inflated, release the trigger and remove the chuck from the valve.
Unscrew the empty CO2 cartridge.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all standard threaded CO2 cartridges (12g, 16g, 20g, 25g).
The Twin Chuck head is designed to fit both Presta and Schrader valves.
Care:
After use, wipe the inflator body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Store in a dry place. Ensure the chuck head is free of dirt and debris.
Periodically check the seals for wear and tear.
Always handle with care, especially when a CO2 cartridge is attached.
