Veteran 153  |  Subject: co2 inflater recommendations?OK. Kimm and sidekick KL (and their team) taught us how to change flats(thanks again!). Now I need to buy inflater's for Smoak and me. My preference is hight tech and light, but I would really appreciate recommendations for products you have seen and/or used. |

| 41 | Subject: RE: co2 inflater recommendations? Planet Bike makes one called the "Air Kiss". It's light, easy to use, and reasonably priced. It also comes with a sleeve to wrap around your CO2 cartridges so you don't get a freezer burn on your hand from the ridiculously cold cartridge. I recommend it. |

Master 1390  Ferndale, MI | Subject: RE: co2 inflater recommendations? What I use... http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1031024_-1_1512507_20000_400032 You can use threaded or non-threaded cartridges and your hand won't freeze up when using it, plus it has the trigger, meaning you decide when you want the CO2 to release. ETA: Glad you're getting this taken care of.  Edited by gir1with1nose 2010-05-23 8:02 PM |

Extreme Veteran 730 Milford, MI | Subject: RE: co2 inflater recommendations? This is the one I use: http://www.trisports.com/co2airchucw1.html The drawback is that the cartridge gets ridiculously cold and sometimes you have to press down pretty hard to get it to activate. The reason I use it, though, is because its small. I carry 2 tubes, 2 CO2 cartridges, a set of tire levers, and a multi-function tool - there's not much room for anything else in the bag. |

That's the one to get, you can also buy the big air cans for it. If it gets cold, keep your gloves on while you use it, if you are not wearing gloves, just work quickly. |
