Co2 inflator

[Andywinds]

Since my first road puncture I am now taking out two spare inner tubes with me. I always used to take one, but for longer rides two makes sense. Does everyone else take two? Also I used Co2 to inflate, I am not sure if this is a waste as I do own a pump I can take with me, it's just quicker to inflate.

i take one spare tube. C02 (2 cannisters) and a small pump.

Which pump do you have?

Yes very much so, especially after getting a flat from hitting a pothole, you take it for granted on a MTB, but its all relative as I've had pinch flats before, which was why we went tubeless.

2 tubes, 2 CO2 canisters and 2 inflator heads ... last one may seem overkill but they weigh almost nothing and I've had one jam on me before.

That is a nice pump. I've still got this from when I used it on the MTB.

It fits well with a nice bike

It's a Van Nicholas Ventus Ti (Titanium)

A cheaper alternative to the road drive - which I have after losing an expensive pump is the lifeline pump from Wiggle which is excellent value and works really well.
It's usually ten pounds but is eight quid at the minute.

Does anyone know what PSI you can inflate 21-25c inner tube to with a 16g Co2 cartridge.

to about 90-100psi usually. More if you top up the tyre with the pump first.

Ok thanks, I will take out my pump from now on then. I just browsed to the Van Nicholas site and in my head spent 6000 Euros. lol
