A question about bcarms.

I was planning on getting a handheld co2 inflator and thought that i might as well get it from bcarms.

I was just wondering if anyone had ordered from there before or if anyone knew where I could just go out and buy one from a mainstream store. i.e, walmart.

I;ve had bad experiences in the past with website ordering and was just looking for some feedback.

You can get them at any Serious Bike store. Along with the 16 gram CO2's, although the 12 grams are much cheaper.

This is probably just a stupid question, but...

Can you fit a 12 gram co2 cartridge in them, or do you have to get a specific 12 gram inflator. (i'm guessing that it would depend on the model)

12 and 16 gram cartriges are the same length, So yes, they both work. I have tried.

Just as an FYI I can assure you that things are just fine coming from BCARMS.

Alright, thnx to both you and pcguy.

The inflator I was gonna use was crushed near the head, and would blatantly not work.

There's a bike shop near me that might sell them so I'm goin there tomorow. If they don't have what a I need I'm just gonna order from bcarms.

I've ordered from BCARM's and received them is a somewhat timely fashion in the past...

Hey spook, Since you are in my area, the place to go for such and item would be the bike store next to the bowling alley in medina. I belive I have seen such items there. Centry cycles might have it, but it will cost twice the price of any where else. Or if you are in the Cleveland area, on Lorain Rd, there is this place called Fredrichs Bike Shop. They will have it for sure, and they will be the cheapest place. It is about 45- 50 mins from where you live.

No, prob. I just need to find a place that sells 1.5 inch SCH 21 in our area. TSC just discontinued carrying PVC.

BCARMS was never gone, just a few orders got delayed/lost in shipping.

Hey, SP00K, did you find a filler locally, if so were, and how much.
I am also in the market.

I haven't been able to get out lately to go search. But I did find a shop that would probably sell them. They don't have a website, but my uncle said it was my best bet as for just checking stores and seeing if they have it it.

O wait, nm. I found a better place. It's probably too far out of your way, but it does carry co2 inflators.

Co2 inflators!

I checked out century cycles and they seem to carry them to. They might be nice and import some inflators from their warehouse if they don't carry them in store.
