Item source in the usa?
Can anybody source me a place in the us that I can buy this? Been looking but all the places that carry it are overseas.

Did you try the store locator map in that link you provided? There are several LBSs pinned across the US on there, some with phone numbers. There is also a phone number in that link for the Topeak US Distributor. Other than that, I don't know. If all the usual website sellers don't have it, it may be too new.

I did, nobody had one in stock or was willing to take my order and ship me one. I didn't know that topeak was more or less a UK company.

A quick Google search pulled up Chain Reaction Cycles offering them. Just a note, though that Amazon shows a right angle version. Personally, I wouldn't want a non right-angle head on an inflator.

Chain reaction is not us based, no shipping from US for them sadly.
I hear what your saying but this application I want I actually want the straight version.
Thanks though!

Many of us have bought from CRC here in the US. They absolutely ship here.
Most all of the UK/EU dealers will ship to the US. Free delivery on orders over $XX so you either pay shipping or order more stuff.

As a Canadian, I stopped buying from US based online sellers years ago. UK based sellers are far superior and, depending on how much you spend, sometimes even offer free shipping, almost never the case with US suppliers.

The weird thing is that I thought I saw a US phone number. Apparently not. Not sure how I messed that up.

Never heard of them. They list a US warehouse.

Any specific reason for that inflator, there are tons of options out there and this one doesn't seem that special? I used an old tube for the outside of my cartridge so that eliminates the silicone need and small inflator heads are easy enough to get from most shops.
I love Topeak so not a knock on them at all just don't see a need for this specific one.

one I want that one
and its super small and compact. I have a seat bag where storage is super tight and I need a straight valve one to fit.....its the only option that seems to fit my specs.
third, I want it for my kids bike. I don't want his hands anyplace near a super cold surface just in case. He is 11 and on his first road bike this year. This one you screw the cartridge on, press on valve using only the rubber sleeve around the can. Don't have to touch anything else. I know I can get him another straight kind but this one is really hands free of danger. I am sure he would be fine using any other but I minimize risk when I can.
And I just want that one,
I just ordered from the UK.
