G-Unit Posted June 7, 2012 Share Stoopid question - are the MTB size bomb thingies big enough to bomb a completely flat 29x2.2in tyre? If not, what does one do - simply use more bombs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baster Brak Posted June 7, 2012 Share You must say CO2 canister, ACSA or the FBI or CIA might come after you for using the B word G-Unit and Ollie Gilbey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleE Posted June 7, 2012 Share "are the MTB size bomb thingies big enough to bomb a completely flat 29x2.2in tyre?"Â Yes. You can also get a bigger bomb nowadays (lezyne IIRC), but one regular sized one works for me. Also, I like tires at around 1.7 bar, you might need the bigger one for lots more pressure.

hdp_gmx Posted June 7, 2012 Share Generally I get a 16g bomb for my 29er (used before i went tubeless), get it to decent pressure with a good dual action pump and then i use the bomb to get it up to the right pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder or RavX. So it's strong enough for the bigger bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Hey? Why not?Well lets just say i need to replace cartridge holder & 2x45g canisters. My 2nd very expensive "spares on the go" lesson. Some dom people just have to learn the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
