High quality and high performance.
One week ago I was getting ready to go to a cycling training camp (road bikes in my case) and I realized that I needed a CO2 inflator in order to quickly fix a flat on the road as all I had was a floor pump at home in order to pump up tubes. I looked around and decided to take a shot on this product and I just have to say I'm very happy to have bought this. During this camp I actually had 3 flats (pretty rough roads, 400 miles, and some bad luck), but luckily this trusty little inflator is now my best friend, if you don't have one then I sincerely suggest you think about buying one. Here is my pro and con list. Pros: - It's extremely small and light, lighter than a hand pump, easy to put in your back pocket or saddle bag on the road. - Really easy to use on the road, simply twist to valve counter-clockwise 45 degrees and twist the opposite direction to close the tank again. - It's nice and stylish, most inflators I saw were bulky and ugly and this is just extremely small and professional I love it. - It's good at inflating, a 16g CO2 canister filled my 25mm tubes quickly and to around 95 psi at home. Cons: - The foam insulation is a little thin, your hands will still get cold without a glove, so don't forget that. - The little lever to begin inflating is a bit tight but I get that is for a good reason, wouldn't want to accidentally open the valve. Overall: This is a great little CO2 inflator and I've been happy with it thus far, again the only thing I would like is thicker canister insulation. It's a great product and I was happy using it on the road and I know trust it. The only advice I would give to potential buyers is to, deflate and inflate your tubes with air when you get home, CO2 gets you home but it leaks much faster than air, use it for emergencies, not every day, along with that make sure you read the directions (That are quite informative by the way, albeit a bit minimalistic) and you put something between your hand and the CO2 canister, but that is for any pump. Great pump, really saved me on the road this past week (Also this does not come with a CO2 canister, do not believe that it will come with one. That is stated in the description). Disclaimer: If you found this review helpful please press the button below this review (It really helps me). I was given a discounted price on this item in exchange for a completely honest and unbiased review and that is what this is. This inflator is pretty awesome.
