Tiny Object CO2 Inflator

A CO2 inflator is a device that quickly inflates tires using carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridges. When you activate the inflator, it releases gas from the cartridge into the tire, allowing for rapid inflation without the manual effort required by traditional pumps. This is especially beneficial for cyclists who need to fix flat tires quickly while on the go.

No, this CO2 inflator is specifically designed for Presta valves, which are commonly found on high-performance bicycle tires. If your bike has a Schrader valve (like those on car tires), you will need a different inflator or an adapter to use this product.

The full-grain leather sleeve provides durability and insulation, protecting your hands from the cold when using CO2 cartridges. This is particularly useful in colder weather, as the gas can become very cold upon release. The leather also adds a touch of style and comfort to the inflator.

A compact design makes the CO2 inflator lightweight and easy to carry, fitting conveniently into pockets, saddle bags, or hydration packs. This is essential for cyclists who want to travel light and have quick access to their inflator during rides.

The control knob allows you to adjust the flow of CO2 into the tire, giving you control over the inflation speed. This feature helps prevent over-inflation or under-inflation, ensuring your bike performs safely and efficiently on the road.

Yes, replacing the CO2 cartridges is straightforward. Simply unscrew the empty cartridge from the inflator and screw in a new one. Make sure to have extra cartridges on hand, so you're always prepared for any flat tires during your rides.
