Blackburn Wayside CO2 Thread-On Inflator

Blackburn Wayside CO2 Thread-On Inflator Info

When you’re looking for a light, compact, practical CO2 inflator, the Blackburn Wayside CO2 Thread-On Inflator is there for you. Cartridges sold separately.

This is small. It is just three CNC-machined pieces and a spring. The brass piece is the pump head. It is designed to work with both Presta and Schrader valves just by pressing it on. Behind it is a spring, which leads to a juncture piece, and that is secured to the threaded piece where you attach the cartridge. 55g in total and barely takes up any room.

This inflator only works with threaded cartridges. 16g is accepted as the “road” size. 12g works with most non-oversized MTB tires. 20g is for 29ers and Plus tires, and 25g will work with Plus and Fat Bike tires. Of course, the only penalty for carrying oversized cartridges is the space they take up.

When you thread in the cartridge, air does not come out. Air is only released when you push down on the spring-loaded section. You’ll want to start with a little to make sure the tire is seated before emptying your wad.

The Blackburn Wayside CO2 Thread-On Inflator is the secret stash pipe which makes it easy to pack light yet secure.
