Hello
Has anyone any experience of using CO2 cartridges? I bought a Genuine Innovations Proflate Elite the other day and have tried it with Lifeline 16g threaded cartridges (from Wiggle). It's really easy to use, and no leakage, but I seem to need to use 2 to get my preferred 110 psi into my tyres - one cartridge only put 60psi in there (according to my track pump gauge).
I'm running a Gator Skin 23mm hard case, with skinny inner tubes.
My thoughts are:
1. I messed up (I don't think I did as I have the pump pressed firmly on the valve)
2.This is normal
3. Different tyres have different volume requirements - hence a Gator Skin may need more CO2 than a racing tyre
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks, Paul.
