Anyone know best place to get the co2 canisters and spare plugs? I bought a kit from thunder road when I caught a puncture a few weeks ago. Took all three 16gm canisters to inflate the (rear)tyre sufficiently.

Its not the size of a key. I guess its smaller than the usual metal spike and plug, but the kit looks bigger in entirey than the rep-air ones.

Spares

not sure about plubs, I know you can get the sticky string ones off ebay IIRC, Ive gone over to those but not yet used. Had to use a tube twice now.
