I am a newbie and need help on what type of co2 inflator to get for an upcoming 1/2 ironman. I don't even know the brands or types, but I figure you guys could help on what brand and model would be best. I will need it to accomodate disc type valves. Thanks alot, I tried the search feature but couldn't seem to find the answer.

I carry a tiny one sold here in OZ under tha "BBB" brand - it's essentially just a valve that screws onto the presta cap at one end and takes a screw-in CO2 bulb at the other - works a treat and takes up no room. Zefal make a pretty good one that strap-mounts to the bike and holds two on-board CO2 bulbs. For Tris I'd go for 16g rather than 12g bulbs for higher pressures, and I always carry a conventional pump as well as the CO2 in case of multiple flats.
