CO2... why's it so darn expensive?

Where do you folks buy your CO2 cartridges? I just feel like they're more expensive than they need to be and I need to reload my stores of them

I bought a box of 100 12g for paintball pistols like 4-5 years ago, I think it was like $40? Still have 3/4 of the box? I normally carry 2 or 3 with me on a ride. My CO2 inflator can use both 12g and 16g, non threaded type.

I like carrying those smaller 12/16g ones and more of them. Just in case something happens and you lose all the air in the first one, you've got more.

Plus if you're not fully flat but burped the tire or have a slow leak that got sealed, a smaller cartridge is good enough.

I always buy the 30 pack that pat listed. I only need to order once every couple years now. Tubeless and plugs really cut down on the catastrophic flats.

And I carry this setup. (2) 16oz seems to be enough and if not, I’ll borrow a pump.
Having some electrical tape has come in handy more than once.
