CXWXC 20 × 16 g (0.6 oz) cartridges with 2-in-1 head review

A bulk pack of twenty 16 g (0.6 oz) threaded cartridges in recycled steel, supplied with a 2-in-1 head fitting both Presta and Schrader.

Our conclusion Buy this when you already know CO2 suits you. Twenty cartridges is the price break, and the included head is a bonus rather than the point.

This is the bulk purchase in the CO2 category, and the arithmetic is the argument.

What the manufacturer publishes

Cartridges made from 100% recycled steel, described as not rusting easily and not leaking. Sixteen grams of compressed CO2 in each, inflating a bicycle tire in seconds. A length of only 8 cm (3.1 in), small and light enough for a rucksack or bag. A 2-in-1 inflator head supplied, compatible with Presta and Schrader valves.

The per-cartridge cost

A five-cartridge kit and a twenty-cartridge pack cost about the same. That is the whole case: if you have decided CO2 is how you fix punctures, buying twenty stops the reordering.

The corollary

Most riders puncture a handful of times a year. Twenty cartridges is several years of supply, and they do not go off. For a club or a household with three or four bikes it makes more sense than for one rider.

The travel restriction

Worth stating clearly: CO2 cartridges are pressure vessels, and airlines commonly prohibit them in hold and cabin baggage alike. If you fly with a bike, plan to buy them at the destination and check the specific airline’s rules.

The recycled steel

A manufacturer statement, reported as such. It does not change how the cartridge works; it is a material claim.

The questions riders ask

Are these threaded cartridges?

Yes. CXWXC states 16 g (0.6 oz) threaded cartridges, 8 cm (3.1 in) long, which fit the common threaded inflator heads including the one supplied.

Can I take these on a plane?

Generally no. CO2 cartridges are pressure vessels and airlines commonly prohibit them in both hold and cabin baggage. Check the specific airline's dangerous goods list rather than assuming.

Our score

8.4/ 10
