The <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"81\">PRO Performance Micro Inflator<\/b> (from Shimano's premium accessory lineup) was developed to eliminate mechanical complications during an emergency, delivering absolute reliability in a footprint small enough to completely vanish into a jersey pocket or a compact saddle bag. With the included 16g cartridge, the kit is fully field-ready right out of the box.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"11\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Micro Design and Premium CNC Construction<\/b><\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">Unlike cheap plastic inflators that can flex or leak, the Performance Micro Inflator is carved from a solid block of <b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"117\">CNC-machined aluminum<\/b>. This provides exceptional durability for the internal threads (which must handle the extremely high pressure of liquid CO2) and guarantees that the internal seals maintain a perfect airtight seat over time, preventing dangerous gas leaks when screwing in a cartridge.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"13\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Total Flow Control (Foolproof System)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">No awkward levers or external taps that risk opening accidentally inside your bag. Operation is completely intuitive: once the CO2 cartridge is threaded securely into the inflator head, simply push the Micro Inflator head firmly onto the bicycle valve. The harder you push, the faster the gas flows. Releasing the pressure instantly stops the flow. This spring-loaded design allows you to easily control the burst to snap-seat a tubeless tire or to add just a bit of air into a replacement inner tube so you can shape it before final inflation.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"15\"><b data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Thermal Frost Protection Included<\/b><\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">As liquid CO2 rapidly discharges and expands, the cartridge undergoes an immediate, severe temperature drop, literally freezing solid within seconds. To safeguard your fingers from frost burns, PRO includes a high-density <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"222\">protective insulating foam sleeve<\/b> in the box to slide over the cartridge before operation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"18\"><b data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Detailed Technical Specifications<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"19\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Model:<\/b> PRO Performance Micro Inflator (PRPU0107)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Body Material:<\/b> CNC-machined anodized aluminum.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Mechanism:<\/b> Spring-loaded internal valve for push-to-activate delivery.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"19,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Cartridge Compatibility:<\/b> Fully compatible with all standard threaded CO2 cartridges on the market (16g, 25g, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19,4,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"19,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Valve Compatibility:<\/b> Presta (road\/racing) and Schrader (mtb\/car) without needing any internal swap or adapters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19,5,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"19,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Inflator Weight:<\/b> Just a handful of grams, heavily optimized for weight-conscious cyclists.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"21\"><b data-path-to-node=\"21\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">What's in the Box (Complete Kit)<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"22\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\">1x PRO Performance Micro Inflator CNC aluminum control head<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22,1,0\">1x 16g Threaded CO2 cartridge<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22,2,0\">1x Anti-freeze protective foam insulating sleeve for the CO2 cartridge<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22,3,0\"><i data-path-to-node=\"22,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Note: Replacement or additional CO2 cartridges can be purchased separately right here on our store.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"24\"><b data-path-to-node=\"24\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">FAQ \u2013 Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"25\"><b data-path-to-node=\"25\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Q: Is the included 16g cartridge enough to inflate a road tire or an MTB tire?<\/b> A: The included 16g cartridge is ideal for bringing a standard road tire (700x25\/28c) up to optimal riding pressure (approx. 7-8 bar \/ 100-115 psi) or fully inflating a Gravel tire. For large-volume mountain bike tires (29\"), a 16g cartridge provides sufficient emergency pressure (approx. 1.5 bar \/ 22 psi) to get you moving, though we recommend using larger 25g cartridges (also fully compatible with this device) for future MTB trail use.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"26\"><b data-path-to-node=\"26\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Q: Can I use this inflator head with non-threaded cartridges?<\/b> A: No. The PRO Performance Micro Inflator strictly requires standard threaded CO2 cartridges to establish a secure, airtight mechanical seal.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"27\"><b data-path-to-node=\"27\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Q: Does it work on both wide MTB valves and narrow road valves?<\/b> A: Yes. The dual-head chuck is natively dual-compatible. It automatically seals over both Presta and Schrader valves without needing you to disassemble or flip any internal parts.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"29\"><b data-path-to-node=\"29\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">CicloBottega Workshop Tech Tip<\/b><\/h3>\n<blockquote data-path-to-node=\"30\">\n<p data-path-to-node=\"30,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"30,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Expert Advice:<\/b> In our workshop and on our personal rides, we consider the PRO Micro Inflator an absolute \"must-have\", and the fact that it ships as a ready-to-go bundle with a 16g cartridge makes it an excellent gift or essential gear addition. Compared to traditional twist-valve or lever inflators, PRO\u2019s spring-loaded push system is incredibly practical because it allows you to keep both hands securely stabilizing the wheel and valve stem\u2014just push to inflate.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"30,1\"><i data-path-to-node=\"30,1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">A quick pro-tip:<\/i> Before threading the CO2 cartridge into the PRO Micro Inflator head, ensure the tire valve is completely clear and free of dried tubeless sealant residue, which could otherwise block the high-pressure burst.
