[QUOTE="Whooshka, post: 1455140, member: 93041"] That short hose is nice. I have strings and a year ago or so bought a Stop and Go mushroom plug kit (haven't had to use it yet). I carry 16 gram CO2 cartridges. I know I know, what if the plug doesn't entirely seal and you lose more air looking for a gas station? I found 3 cartridges inflated the tire pretty well. I didn't check but I'd say it was 20 lbs. in a 190/55 tire. I carry 6 or 7 cartridges under the seat so I think I'm good. My riding buddies also have cartridges and a pump if need be. I did find this but I'm pretty sure my results were different... [I]Can a CO2 cartridge fill a motorcycle tire? [B]Most of these kits use disposable CO2 cartridges to inflate the tire once you've repaired the puncture[/B]. How much do you need? According to our tests, it takes six 12-gram canisters to inflate a 180/55-17 rear tire to 20 psi, while a similar number of 16-gram charges will get it to 23 psi.Feb 24, 2009[/I] [/QUOTE]
