    To clarify, are they 16 gramme threaded cartridges, that you intend buying?

    I’ll check how many I have left in the shed tomorrow. I think I’ll probably be in for this

    How did you arrive at €21 for 30. I get £14.90 which is closer to €17.00/17.50 depending on fx.

    Plus shipping, overheads, and a bit of margin, tip for the courier, labour costs to split the consignment , secondary packaging costs... :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,116 ✭✭✭Peterx


    Hi. If you still need more people to fill the order I will take 30 for the €21. From Rathmines. Thanks

    Wow, sounds cheap with all those overheads!!

    Never used and dont possess a CO2 inflator, pure air all the way. Is using CO2 just a speed/convenience/weight/aesthetic thing on the road? The slowest part of fixing on the road is normally changing the tube ...or am I missing a marginal gain somewhere?

    The problem i find is trying to get the road bike tyre up to 100 psi with a hand pump on the side of the road.
    Where as the Co2 will give you 100psi in about 2seconds.

    There has been about 15 cent round up to 21 euro i have otherwise went with cost price.
    If people want them shipped somewhere it will be extra.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,329 ✭✭✭secman


    70 cents a pop is very good value, they range between €2 to €3 over the counter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 697 ✭✭✭Cionn


    I will go for 30 too if there is still availability. Can you confirm the size of the canisters ? I presume 16g
