I picked up a 16 gram adapter at Palmers Pursuits today and it fits very well on my Strike Models' set regulator. ($16.00 and very small and lightweight.) Besides Ebay, anybody know a good place online to buy some. They aren't cheap at the bicycle stores at about $1.60 each! Or is that the standard price? Thanks, Steve
I get 60ish from the Emden's palmer rock the boat turned to 130psi, it varies a bit but I've never gotten less than 50 or more than 70.
The 16g capsules are easily found at bike stores but are not cheap there. Try a warehouse sports place for a better price.
Redrock Distributing sells a package of 30 for 25.80, thats 80 cents each not counting tax and shipping.
Yeah, that's what I paid for the last box I bought; Now I have to finish the Gearing-class DD that it goes in! Only 11-ish months till next Nats!
Question for Tug: Do you know what size capsule this adapter takes? It has a 1/2" opening. see picture. Thanks, Ship Crazy
It looks like the adapter used for an 88 gram disposable CO2 cartridge. The threads on the cartridge are 5/8" which gives an internal diameter of just over 1/2".
There are 1/2" x 20tpi (maybe 24tpi) threaded cartridges as well. I believe they are more often used in industrial type applications.
The 88 gram cartridges are available at walmart at two for $12. That might save you shipping costs and if you don't puncture the seal, you should be able to return them if they are the wrong size.
