XLAB Tire Mate Air Pump

Every now and then we get unlucky with multiple flats on a ride. Typically, two CO2 cartridges should be enough for any ride, but what happens when you have that third flat? With the XLAB Tire Mate Air Pump, you can have the convenience and peace of mind knowing that you have access not only to the CO2 cartridges, but also a pump if the unthinkable becomes reality. The Tire Mate Air Pump is easy to store in your Mezzo Bag or a Stealth Pocket. It’s actually eight millimeters shorter than a CO2 cartridge attached to the inflator, and weighs nearly 20g less. But you’ll probably find its dual capabilities the greatest argument for going this route. When using it as a CO2 inflator, you can easily regulate the air flow to avoid blowing out a tire. When you need to resort to using it as a mini pump, you’ll be able to get you tire back up to 90 PSI. If you ride tubulars, that will probably seem a bit soft compared to your usual 120 PSI, but it will get you home, or even help you continue with your race. The Tire Mate Air Pump has been CNC precision machined to be durable and well-sealed. A magnet locks the pump handle closed to keep it compact and secure. Weighing just 63g, the Tire Mate will add very little heft to your repair kit. And it happily is widely compatible, fitting 12g, 16g, and 25g CO2 Cartridges, and it will work both with Presta and Schrader valves. Never be stuck roadside for long with the XLAB Tire Mate Air Pump.
