Will one Co2 bottle fill a tire?

 

Can someone who knows tell us how many CO2 cartridges it takes to fill a tire?

 

The Slime compressor is about as small as they get add some some sticky plugs and the tool. Sometimes you can get the compressor and plug all in one kit.
You can get everything at a department store or autoparts stores.
Forget the liquid and spray in stuff, they only work on very small holes.

 

Took 6 of the smaller CO2 cartridges when I last used them... The Stop N Go looks to have the larger cartridges, I'd guess it'd take at least 2 or 3 of those. Like others have said, get the small slime pump.... takes up very little space and works great... bought mine at Wally World for about $10... plug kit there was around $5... I ditched the CO2 kit.

 

I just ordered one of these yesterday, seems to be very popular among
the different boards:

Also got a standard plug kit. Should be good to go.

I carry and have used the BMW tubeless tire repair kit. Since '85, I've only run tubeless tires on my road bikes.

 

I had been looking at the Slime Power Sport Tire Inflator at Walmart for some time. The other day I walked into a Walmart and found the Slime Tire Top Off. It's the smallest compressor I have ever seen. It's even smaller than the Slime Power Sport Inflator and cheaper at $9.99. It is about the size of a Sony Walkman Cassette player, has a built in pressure guage, on/off switch and a built in light. You will need a cig lighter. I plugged it into the lighter in my car and it seems to work well. The only negative I can see is the air hose is only about 4 inches long but that is not a problem because I carry a valve extension that I made to fill the tire on my FLHX because the valves are so hard to get to.

To plug leaks I purchased a Dynaplug kit. It was about $17 including shipping off of ebay plus I orered an extra five plugs for $6.95.

I was going to go with the Pocket Plugger but after reading quite a few reviews, on the Web, it sounded like it really didn't work very well. According to the reviews it wasn't the easiest thing to ream out the hole and the steel belts in the tires tended to cut through the mushroom plug in as little as 20 miles and because there is no glue the plug then just falls out. This is just what I read but there were quite a few people unhappy with the kit.

The Dynaplug requires no reaming of the hole, contains glue and all the plugs are contained in the handle of the tool. The plugs are a very small diameter but supposedly you can use multiple plugs to fill one hole. I had read reviews where people continued to ride on a patched tire until the tire needed replacing and when the old tire was removed the plug was impossible to pull out.

I'm going to need a new rear tire very soon and I plan to take the old tire home with me, put a nail through it and try out the Dynaplug to see how it works.

I visited the website and this little unit looks pretty cool. Can you re-use that little compresser?

 

If your talking about the Slime compressor (and every other one I've seen) then yes, you can use it as much as you want. I try not and run it for more than 5-10 minutes at a time (plenty for a MC tire), then I let it cool down.
My slime compressor came with cords to plug in to a cig lighter, battery tender and also clips to connect directly to the battery. I also carry a small set of standard plugs with the tool. Total I spent about $20.
