Pro Bike Tool CO2-inflator met cartridge-opbergbus snel, eenvoudig en veilig - voor Presta en Schrader - fietsbandenpomp voor racefietsen en mountainbikes - geen CO2-cartridges inbegrepen

1x gebruikt, in 1 seconde "ontplofte" de aansluiting en kwam alle CO2 vrij en miste mijn gezicht op een haar na. 2e patroon vulde de band ook niet en alle lucht ontsnapte. Waardeloos.

Someone gave design some thought. One of those things you hope you don’t have to use but when you do you want it as good as this.

I ride 10k+ miles per year including rain/snow/nasty weather so have long shed any tolerance for unreliable gear. Flats are an inevitable nuisance, and one area where trying to save a buck or two is almost never worth it. Depending on the type of riding you do, there are two recommended approaches towards being prepared for flats:Group rider or shorter solo rides in populated/urban areas--a single Co2 cartridge will handle a single inflation, so anything beyond a single flat or any issues trying to use that single cartridge is not that big a deal because you're not likely to be stranded. Priority is convenience.Commuter or solo rider in more remote areas--reliability and redundancy is critical. Co2 is convenient, but you'll want more than a single cartridge and/or backups such as patch kits, mini hand pump, etc.Co2 cartridges are generally considered much more convenient than using hand pumps, but notoriously unreliable and hard to use. The primary issues are getting a proper fit on the valve and being able to control the flow. Problems with either of these can result in leak/discharge of the cartridge without managing to inflate the tire, or if the cartridge is more than the tube holds (ex. 20g cartridge for a 700x23 tube) not being able to stop the inflation before the tube pops. That's why it's usually a good idea to carry at least 2 cartridges if you have room.With that said, I have to say this is one of the finest Co2 devices I've used, period, and that includes some that are more than twice the price. It is reliable, easy to use, easy to control, and very minimalist in space/weight. The only smaller options out there are head only (screw onto the cartridge) and that saves a couple grams and maybe a cubic inch of storage, but they tend to be finicky to get a good seal on the valve and control the inflation.This is made from good quality aluminum, so rust is not going to be an issue, though I found the threads a little snug and applied a little wet lube (thick oil) makes things open/close smoothly. The control valve is not only easy to use but also clearly labeled so you know whether you're open or closed. The best feature, in my opinion, is that the head is designed to work with both Presta and Shrader vales (nothing special about that, most do this) but also threads onto each so you can screw it on for a perfectly reliable seal before opening the valve to inflate. That, to ,me, makes this an exceptional product and an excellent value.This is immediately replacing the $40 mini Co2 kit currently on my daily commuter bike, and I'll likely also buy a couple more for my road bikes to replace the minimalist head-only products and/or to toss in a jersey pocket when heading out on a longer ride or when leading a group when I tend to be the one who gets to support the unprepared riders.

I only started cycling last year, and since getting on the saddle, have not looked back. I believe that prevention is better than cure, and as a result have kitted my bikes with what I consider to be the best puncture resistance tyres on the market (Continental GP 4000 s2). However, one should always be prepared for a road side emergency. Carrying a pump is fine, however, I have recently been introduced to these CO2 inflators.The inflator is well packaged (as shown in the attached picture) and contains instructions on how to use it. The finish of the product is very good, and has an industrial design to a very high standard. The valve attached is stiff, and the inflator itself is very light in weight, and can easily fit into a cycling jersey's rear pocket or saddle bag.The operation behind them is simple. Simply insert a CO2 canister (sold separately) into the inflator, and you are ready to release the gas from the canister into your tyre. I have tried this with my bike which has ores valves, and it was very quick and easy. I used Lifeline 16g CO2 inflators, and the psi of my tyre was at ~115, which would be perfect for getting back home and fine-tuning with a proper pump. One thing I should add is that if yo leave the CO2 in the tyre, it will make your tyre flatter a lot quicker than normal air, so releasing the CO2 canister back at home and re-pumping with a floor pump is highly recommended. I got this information from a GCN video.All-in-all, I am very impressed with CO2 inflators, and this one is quite exceptional. It works well, has a good build and has a premium finish. Highly recommended if you would like a hassle free and quick way to inflate your tyres at the roadside. 5/5Note: I was sent this product for free to provide an honest and unbiased review.

Veramente utile ed efficace! Materiale di ottima fattura e ha anche un design “accattivante”! Subito notato dagli amici in bici. Molto comodo! Assolve alla sua funzione sia per trasportare la cartuccia integra sia per procedere al gonfiaggio. Inserendo la cartuccia nel contenitore, avvitare la stessa risulta sicuro e senza problemi. Evita in modo efficace possibili piccole ustioni da freddo. Si avvita facilmente sulle valvole e la vite di regolazione è molto comoda! Insomma ottimo prodotto! ... lo consiglio a tutti!
