Introducing the Topeak TubiCartridge R16
Stay unstoppable on every road with the Topeak TubiCartridge R16, your ultimate companion for tubeless tyre repairs and inflation. Engineered for road cyclists who demand reliability and convenience, this compact repair kit ensures you’re always prepared for unexpected flats and punctures.
Fast, convenient and easy to use
The Topeak TubiCartridge R16 Compact Tubeless Repair Kit is used to repair and inflate tubeless road bike tyres quickly and efficiently when a puncture occurs. To use it, first locate the puncture, then take the 1.5mm stainless steel plug insertion tool from the kit and push one of the repair plugs firmly into the hole. This seals the puncture and allows you to continue your ride. For inflation, connect a CO₂ inflator (not included) to the kit to reinflate the tyre to the correct pressure. It’s ideal for unexpected flats on the road, offering both a repair and inflation solution in a compact, easily mountable pod.
Designed for road cyclists
The Topeak TubiCartridge R16 is perfect for road cyclists who ride tubeless and value compact, reliable tools for unexpected tyre issues. It’s tailored to those who prefer self-sufficiency on long rides, knowing they can quickly repair and reinflate a punctured tyre without needing extensive tools or assistance. Designed with road cycling enthusiasts in mind, the TubiCartridge R16 integrates seamlessly with Topeak’s mounting systems, making it ideal for riders who appreciate minimalistic yet effective gear that won’t add weight or bulk to their bike.
Direct inflation via CO2
The Topeak TubiCartridge R16 is designed to streamline repairs by allowing direct inflation at the puncture site, without requiring access to the tyre valve. Simply connect the Topeak Nano AirBooster CO2 Inflator to inflate the tyre instantly after plugging the hole, saving time and eliminating the hassle of finding the valve mid-ride. This quick-inflate feature is ideal for cyclists looking for the most efficient solution to get back on the road with minimal downtime.
No need to remove the wheel
With the Topeak TubiCartridge R16 Compact Tubeless Repair Kit, there’s no need to remove the wheel to fix a puncture, which is a huge advantage for road cyclists on the go. This kit allows you to insert a repair plug directly into the punctured area of the tyre, saving time and effort compared to traditional inner tube repairs that require wheel removal. This feature is essential because it allows you to get back on the road faster, especially during challenging rides or in situations where stopping for long is inconvenient, like on busy roads or during races.

What else do I need?
