CO2 cartridges

[Dec66]

I recently acquired, a Lezyne CO2 inflator, and I need cartridges. So, two daft questions for you (well, one daft and one not so daft, perhaps);

(1) do I have to use Lezyne cartridges, or will any do (I suspect the latter)?

And

(2) are there any brands of cartridge you would particularly recommend, or particularly avoid?

Thanks in advance.

Edit to OP: screw thread.

Any will fit, as the thread is a standard size. 16g is the usual 'bike' size

Never had a problem with these guy's wares - https://www.co2cartridges.co.uk/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=280

Threaded or non threaded, They do not have to be Lezyne. i use the ones from ebay about £1.00 each. never had a problem.

They are cheap.

1) Any, however there are 2 types, threaded and push fit. You will probably need to buy the same type (although some inflator will take either).

2) The cheapest.... I've used www.co2cartridges.co.uk to buy in bulk and split a box of 50 with a couple of mates... Makes it much more affordable.

Postage bumps the price up a tad so it makes sense to buy a good few.and /or split with mates as @Kestevan suggests aboive

Been using that site for years for cartridges. Very reliable service.

I accidentally bought 30 x 16g threadless cartridges if you need some, my inflator needs threaded. They cost £25 but you can have them for £15 posted... Or anyone else that reads this thread for that matter.

My inflator needs threaded ones too... But thanks, a bargain for someone

Thanks, I'll check that out.

It's given me another problem now, though, I have to find some of these "mates" you refer to
