CO2 pump

Thats the type I buy .From Wal-Mart 50 for 12$ the ones at the bike shop 1$ apiece forget it . I
have no problems sometimes to get 50psi you need 2 but for the price . The make a couple different
type of co2 inflators. one you can us as a pump if you don't have a cartridge.If you by the other
one a reg type a little trick I showed a friend is drill a hole the size of the nipple of the
cartridge in the bottom then you can carry a cartridge in the co2 inflator put in up side down . you
will see that if you don't do this when you put one in it wont screw shut tight with out opening the
co2 .they will leak down fast .you only want to puncture the cartridge when your ready to use it
.good luck .

I have many (>50) CO2 powerlets I used for a CO2 pellet gun - years ago. Thinking of getting a
CO2 pump for the bike - small / light.. anyone use one of these? Will 1 CO2 fill a 26x1.95 tube
(50psi or so?)

Is there a 'best one'.. not most expensive, but is one better than another?

I needed 2 to fill a 26x2.2. I always carry a pump also, so I started just pumping to about 20-30
PSI (easy pumping), then finishing off with the CO2. Find the perssure to stop pumping with a couple
of experiments 🙂.

I stopped carrying one when I got tired of the weight of the cartridges (since I carry a pump anyway
because I've gotten more flats than I had CO2 cartridges...)

I'd consider one of the ones thats a pump combined with a CO2 inflator.

] One of the best cycling inventions EVER!!! One cartridge 12 gr will not bring a MTB tire to 50 psi
. Get the Innovations Ultraflate 11.99 at supergo.com or $20 at your lbs. Carry a couple cartridges
and you;; be on the road quick in case of a flat.

I use 2 12 gram cartridges to fill a tire (with a little left over). I keep 4 cartridges in my bag.

A mini pump probably weighs less when you add it all up, but these things are too cool.
