Never used one, it was as he was trying to inflate the tyre, not sure what went wrong, good old fashioned pump for me!Co2 canisters are hardly rocket science to use. I still carry a pump, attached to the bike obvs, to put the first bit of air in the tube.
To be fair, there's a lot of empty space on my bikeGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Edit, then we used the pump to do the job properly!
A guy tried to use co2 the other day on a ride and gave himself a massive blister where the really cold canister touched his finger! So I'll not be using one of them!
Maybe, I'll stick with the pump thanks.To me that just shouts ignorance of how to use the tool.

Mate, I'm happy with my pumps thanks, I don't feel the need to go gas.Shame, you may not know what you are missing. 700c flat to well inflated in about a second. But I can understand you not wanting to use one if you find them complicated.
Have to say........ The novelty of inflating a tyre in an instant, with approximately 1000th of the energy required to do it by hand, is still right up there for me! The first time I used a co2 cartridge.........and ended up with my fingers stuck to it, was the only time I needed reminding to make sure I kept the cycling gloves on through the massively joyous inflation process.Shame, you may not know what you are missing. 700c flat to well inflated in about a second.

Wrap a bit of inner tube around, no problems then.Have to say........

Which is why most co2 pumps are either have a screw on sleeve or a foam/rubber boot to slide over.
