Small non flammable gas cylinders , containing carbon dioxide or other suitable gas in Division 2. Up two 2 small cylinders fitted into a life jacket, and up to two 2 spare cartridges per person, not more than four 4 cylinders up to 50 ml water capacity for other devices. Note: For carbon dioxide a gas cartridge with a water capacity of 50mL is equivalent to a 28g cartridge.
Flying Monarch late last year from Brum and we were specifically asked if we had Co2 cartridges in our bike bags. We both did and the fella insisted we removed them probably should have kept quiet, but it was very early in the morning…. I really regretted that moment of honesty a few days later sitting on a trail needing to reinflate a tubeless tyre…. Happened to me, nothing to do with airline policy or logic , seems to be down to the whim of the security jobsworth on duty.
Once on the plane the safety briefing explained that under every seat was a self-inflating life jacket, powered by a C02 cartridge. Just make a note to buy some when you get there. Take a couple in every piece of baggage you are allowed to.
Then take a pump too. Our new design that should be available in March and will be a larger cartridge with grams of product. This will fill up to a inch mountain bike tire or three road tires to psig.
We have one customer that is using it with the tire sealant Slime in New Mexico and the sealant is not drying out like it used to using air. This customer thinks they now have the ultimate tire.
Petroleum based products decompose organic substances like rubbers or latex material so I am not sure how long it would take for the propane to begin showing signs of decomposing the inner tire wall.
Here is the link to the material safety data sheet for propane by Air Liquide. Propane may not be a lubricant per se, but it is definitely a hydrocarbon. Special rubber compounds can be made to be compatible with hydrocarbons, but it does not strike me as a specification a tire manufacturer would have chosen when they selected the tire materials.
We have a division that makes compressed natural gas transports and they ran into a major problem a while back using a rubberized hose with natural gas, which typically has about percent propane. The hose began disintegrating after a few months of use under pressure.
Dear Lennard, Regarding your VeloNews. If not the same stuff, Stayfill has to be a similar refrigerant gas mix — there are a very limited number of ambient temperature gases with large molecules.
My daughters were young at the time, we had horses at home, and horse-loving girls also love red cowboy boots, so I grabbed a few of the balloons to bring back to them. Being seated in the back of the plane and concerned about storage space back there being filled by the time I reached my seat, I stuck the balloons in various overhead bins as I walked down the aisle. I shrunk down in my seat behind a copy of VeloNews as passengers looked around with wide eyes.
Nobody figured it out, and I cringed the whole flight in fear of the others going off, which they did not. As I exited the plane with two whole balloons and one limp one, the flight attendants, as usual, thanked me for flying with them. Figuring that it must have been a defective balloon, I boarded the plane to Denver with the two intact balloons. What was I thinking? I remember this time looking straight at the welcoming flight attendants with the balloons held in front of me as I boarded, thinking they might warn me if it was an issue, but they did not.
I shrugged and stuck them in overhead bins where there was space as I made my way back to my seat in steerage. As you might imagine, another one exploded on that flight, passengers once again looked around wide-eyed, and I once again sat in fear of the last one blowing up the rest of the flight. Google should be able to help you with a bike shop My Work. The following criteria applies to the carriage of these items: no more than four per person; cartridge capacity must not exceed 28gm 50ml each; cartridges must be in good condition; cartridges must be packed or packaged to prevent contact or damage.
I'd be checking with your specific airline though. I strongly recommend you declare them though. A couple of months ago I was a first hand witness to a couple who got kicked off a flight at Hobart because they failed to do so. The stupidest part about the whole event was that they'd checked their bikes, had boarded the plane and had only realised they had the canisters as safety briefing was taking place.
They called a flight attendant over and confessed that they had these canisters. The captain admitted straight out that if they hadn't have confessed there would've been no issue, as the canisters were completely safe and allowable. However because of their failure to declare them it constituted a 'security breach' and protocols deemed they had to be offloaded onto the next flight which predictably was the next day!
Even though by this stage their bikes were out of the hold and sitting on the tarmac, they weren't allowed to remove the canisters or show them to ground staff and reboard. Yet another example of the wonderful Australian nanny state we live in! Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels I didn't say it was a Qantas flight that the cyclists were removed from. Dangerous Goods that May be Taken Onboard - to be Declared Some dangerous goods are permitted to be carried by passengers.
The following dangerous goods must be declared at check in to be approved for travel, or unpacked before you take off. If you do not declare the carriage of dangerous goods at time of check in, even inadvertently, you may be liable to prosecution and severe penalties apply. Small Non-Flammable Gas Cylinders such as those contained in lifejackets, bicycle pumps and other inflating devices Permitted as carry-on or checked baggage — Guests are permitted with a limit of 4 small cylinders not more than up to 50mL water capacity containing carbon dioxide or other non-flammable gas, are permitted.
Take a pump. Clown said they had to be packed in their original box, you ever seen a single cartridge packed in it's own box?
