Hey guys, I'm just wondering if there is any cartridge pumps/valves that can take threadless CO2 cartridges? Cheers in advance for your help:)

Apparently so but this model appears to be discontinued. IIRC seeing one in Halfords at some point. However, unless you have a stock of threadless cartridges, you're better off buying threaded and using one of the many threaded micro inflators.

Be aware, however, that air shipping of CO2 cartridges is generally prohibited and surface shipping is generally that bit more expensive...

I can get thread-less cartridges at 75 cent per cartridge...which is very cheap in comparison to threaded one...but I'm open to correction on that

Where can you get them. Can't find them anywhere in Ireland any longer.

Last time I was browsing guns in Limerick, I asked them about threaded cartridges for bikes but they didn't have them. That was in Foxes Bow, I think they have moved to a bigger store now?

€10 for postage, which isn't bad when combined with other items.

These ones can use threaded or non-threaded cartridges:

Cycleways should have them in stock.

Works out at €1.60 or €3.60 depending on postage.

I would like to know where this shop is. I will be in Limerick at the weekend, and 0.75/cannister is simply great value.

I prefer using threadless, because I find the SKS gun to be far surer than the nozzle attachment that I have for the threaded cartridges.

Not sure do people know, but the SKS gun takes both threadless and threaded.

If I'm thinking of the same place in Limerick (polish lads I think):

Looks like they post within Ireland.

They are about halfway up William street in Limerick City. Edit, nearly at the top, according to google maps.

These are 12g cartridges which won't be enough for a bike tyre. You really need 16g.

You can get them here for prices starting from about €1.50 per cartridge (box of 30) to €2.50 each (box of 10). Shipping prices are around €25 but that will cover up to 300 cartridges so if you can, organise a group buy like this recent one.
