You can use this with any threaded CO2 valve as they are all pretty much the same size
There may be a need for several cartridges (6) to inflate a 180/55Z About 23 pounds of pressure should be applied to the 17-inch motorcycle tire. You may be able to get home with enough money to get by.
This is one of my favorite toys. I have five of A CO2 cartridge twists on with the inflation portion on one end sliding over the valve, and the control valve on the other side cranks the air until it is For MTN and cyclocross, a 16 gram cartridge is sufficient, and for road tubes almost the same amount is required. You need to empty the CO2 from tube when you've finished the workout and refill it with air once you're home.
For a while, it will hold pressure, but if you expect it to last forever, don't count on it. It's a good idea to check the pump's inflator valve regularly. Inflation of the CO2 cartridge is secured by threading the inflator on to it, which means that the thread does not seal off. Consequently, you need to make sure that the spike on the inflator is sealed tightly against the metal surface on the top of the cartridge so the spike punctures it and holds it in place. While getting credit for an endowment may work for a time, it doesn't seem very likely to stay that way for very long.
Selected User Reviews For LEZYNE Control Drive C02 Inflator, Head Only, Presta & Schrader Compatible, Bicycle Tire Pump CO2 Adapter
The quality is good enough that I now keep three of them in my commuter bike tool paks. There are some advantages to using them, but they may be more expensive Inflators of higher rated companies are available, but the Lezyne inflators we used on the side of the road worked well, and I would not risk spending less money and subsequently finding out in the field that I made a terrible mistake. In light of the reliability I have seen so far with these, I believe the small extra cost isn't worth worrying about. My favorite part about these is that they use a dial instead of Getting a dial out of whack is much more difficult than snagging it and bending it. Inflators like this one are made a little more idiotproof and durable.
It is worth the extra cost. It feels like you can depend on it when you hold a product of this quality. Simple, but with exceptional build quality. the fact that the pressure control dial is very compact yet tactile and that the tire valve can be easily replaced. There has been a complaint recently that the logo on the control dial is As much as I hate to sound condescending, that's insane. In the shape of a teardrop, the logo decorates the face of a Flow is reduced/stamped when the flow is tightened, as well as when the flow is turned in a narrow direction. It can be seen from the shape narrowing to nothing. As the flow opens/increases, the shape becomes more wide open and high flow looking. They aren't simply naming it a "on/off" valve, as suggested, so it would be far less accurate if they put "on off. ". By indicating the gradient of the pressure, the logo brilliantly indicates that the pressure can be controlled. The fault lies with Lezyne, not with you.
It was easy to use the adapter at the roadside and the repair went quickly. I was a little apprehensive as this was my first time using the c02 cartridge, but simply made sure the adapter control was closed, screwed the adapter in place, and then slowly turned the control to release the c02 into the tube. In addition to the convenience of using the cartridges, it would be great if I were able to fully inflate my road tire(s) at the roadside. I will still carry a pump for when I run out of cartridges (I plan to pack two). In addition to looking well made, the Lezyne adapter is extremely compact, and easy to carry around in my pocket. Pack for cycling in the seat. As for the sleeve for the CO2 cartridge, it fits snug but worked perfectly, and I had no frostbite. In summary, this is a great option for getting back on the bike In the event that I encounter any issues regarding the adapter's durability or otherwise, I will update this review.
A buyer needs to be aware that all that looks good and pretty, may not meet their long-term expectations. In other words It is only the second time that I've used one of these "CO2 Business End Attachment Valves. " It has never lasted more than one use. In comparison to the last purchase, this one only allowed one use before the "CO2's Piercing Needle broke, or the Sharpened Edge of the Piercing Needle became dull or brittle. THE FIRST APPLICATION IS ALL YOU NEED. REINFLATION OF AN "ALRED TIRE" WAS NOT POSSIBLE IN A SECOND ATTEMPT. "TELLING YOU THE TRUTH" I WILL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED IF IT GIVES US MORE THAN A MULTIPLE INFLATION. It would be nice if Amazon allowed me to provide longer-term feedback. I ride a lot of miles every year, because, yes, I am me. RIDING "REGULARY" FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AND AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, I've only had one or two flat tires in that time. A HOPE I HAVE ONE OF THE TOOLS IN MY SEAT TUBE BAG THAT I "NEVER" NEED TO USE AGAIN IS THIS. Therefore, we cyclists carry these silly devices with us, with the "hope" that somehow someone's tire will leak, but I have never had an issue with a flat tire in almost 100 years of cycling. It's the most optimistic prediction I've ever made, and I'm going to be sorry for it. There is no hope for me. That's what I'm saying! I am K. M.
I have used a few CO2 inflators in my lifetime, but this is the best because of the color, compact design, and overall reliability and build of the Lyzene Control Drive. On a recent ride, I had to use this three times since one of my cycling buddies had a cut tire and kept failing the tubes. My version of the phrase is "after two attempts of filling his tire with his and another guy's inflator, I gave him the Lyzene and the tire was filled successfully with 1 CO2 cartridge. ". It was all the talk of the town and all of them were asking where I got it from. The best part is that it allows you to control the flow of the CO2, allowing a small amount in at a time to ensure the tire and tube sit better on the rim than when there is a single violent burst.
I've tested it on my bike and so far, it's working fine. As far as durability goes, for the times I have to fix a flat on the trail once or twice per year, I think I'm going to be fine for The only reason I can think of is to give it less than 5 stars is because I am unable to think of anything negative to say. It was well worthwhile to trust the magazine reviews, and I am glad I did.
This seems to be a high-quality item. The concept sounds good to me. Having the ability to control the amount of air going into my tire has been fantastic. I carried it in my camelbak for about two months. It blew off the mechanism the second time I used it, so I only had a co2 cartridge and head in my hand, which had a hole in it. On the valve, there is an o-ring and a spacer. As a result, everything I managed to salvage was in the hands. I got the piece back on the head with a screwdriver and salvaged all the pieces. There is no indication that it is not There might have been a problem with the screwing. If it had not been put back together again and seemed to be working, I would have given it a 1. It will be interesting to see what happens. It seems to be working, so I hope it will continue to do so.
