PRO BIKE TOOL CO2 Inflator Quick & Easy - Presta & Schrader Valve Compatible - Bicycle Tyre Pump For Road & Mountain Bikes - Insulated Sleeve - No CO2 Cartridges Included

I bought this with my eyes wide shut,simply thinking that my wrists were painful enough just riding the bike (old injuries), without struggling to use a pump. I didn't know that CO2 permeates through the tube and tyre and that you lose pressure constantly, so didn't realise this is mainly for use when you are out and about and are fixing a puncture/replacing a tube, just to get you home so to speak. However, now I know its intended use I can categorically state that it is superb at its job and can highly recommend it. I've been cycling for decades and have always been prone to punctures, in my bike tyres mainly but elsewhere on occasion I have to admit. There's something very pleasing about being able to inflate your newly mended tube/tyre in 2 or 3 seconds, instead of having to faff about with a silly little pump (I don't care how good you think your mini pump is, it's crap, they all are, I've spent a small fortune on the sh122y little things). This co2 gadgy will ease the process of fixing your tyre fault and getting you home easily. Once you are home I recommend deflating the tyre completely and using a decent pump (12v, available on Amazon) to refill it with air., It will hold pressure as normal then. One last thing I must mention, the first one of these I ordered was a bit stiff to operate, I found it hard to turn the little lever. So, I emailed the seller with a simple enquiry as to whether this was normal, expecting to be told that I should put a spot of oil somewhere or other, (easy tiger). But no, much to my surprise and delight I received a replacement the next day, not just the valve but the entire product. the replacement was much easier for me to operate the little lever, so did the trick, can't ask more that that can I? The first on was just bad luck, one of those things, but the second was everything the reviews I'd read lead me to expect. I recommend this. Bigtime.

Easy to set up and use. I inflated the tyres in seconds, that was well over a week ago and the pressure in the tyres is still very good. This has me confused, because when you read about using Co2 to inflate cycle tyres, it says they deflate overnight, or within a short time. Reading that put me off a bit, so I'm delighted to find that it is not the case. Both tyres are still hard. My only negative is, the small Co2 canister is not big enough to inflate both tyres. You need to use one and a half canister. Finishing on a plus, I'm glad I bought this model with the shut off valve, although more expensive than the other models, it gives you better control over the flow of air going into the tyres. Well worth the extra money. A highly recommended cycling accessory.

Good

Twenty-four hours before I bought this item, I'd received a nearly-identical product from Lezyne: a tiny, immaculate, CO2 bike tyre inflater. Lezyne seemed to get the best reviews, and is a fairly well known marque. I thought I'd chosen the best option available. BUT ... Turned out that the Lezyne inflator has no internal threading, so you can't actually screw it onto a tyre valve, or, more important to me, you can't connect it to a high-pressure air hose or football needle adapter. But you CAN do all of this with the PRO BIKE TOOL device, which is the subject of this review. And it works a treat: an easily rotating "head" lets you screw down onto your valve (or needle or hose or whatever) without having to rotate the entire tool. The lever-style gas tap works perfectly, and although the manufacturers suggest otherwise, you can shut the flow off and keep the rest of the unused CO2 in your canister apparently indefinitely. I was so impressed, I also bought the PRO BIKE TOOL version with a built-in storage canister that can hold a spare CO2 bulb. Gorgeous kit, brilliantly designed and manufactured. Might even try it on my bike next time I need to pump my tyres!

I used this inflator for the first time today and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. The Pro Bike Tool is beautifully made and presented and comes with a comprehensive set of instructions. Upon opening the package the excellent design, manufacture and finish of the product is immediately evident. But how would it work? Attaching the foam collar to a CO2 cartridge and after checking the valve was in the closed position before screwing the cartridge into the tool, the first problem was evident. I was expecting some indication that the cartridge had been pierced, a hiss or tiny leek, nothing. Ensuring the cartridge was indeed fully screwed in, I attached the head to the presta valve on my bike and slowly turned the valve,the tyre started to inflate and the rate of inflation was easily controlled with the valve. There was some icing around the screw on head and ice on the valve but very minimal. The tyre was fully inflated in seconds and I was able to stop and check the tyre pressure through the inflation process. Very, very impressive piece of kit.

Aucune perte de c02

I've purchased two of another brand/model in the past. It worked great when I needed it, it is still a good model. So I offered to order another one when a friend saw mine in use and was amazed at how easy it was to inflate a flat bicycle tire after patching. The one I had purchased at an earlier date went up in price by about $10 and did not include the CO2 cartridge anymore. But this time there were many other models on the market so I had choices. After a lot of comparisons and digging for details (way to much time spent) I settled on the Pro Bike Tool. I am sorry I had to give it up to the friend who asked me to order it. It's very well made/machined, and good looking if that means anything. It has a nice thick pad as well. It also fits both types of valves. I think it has two advantages over the the previous models I bought. It can be screwed onto both style valve stems for a really nice tight seal. It also has the advantage that you can screw it on and off without turing the entire unit, which is impossible with the spokes in the way. The head that goes on the valve turns independently of the rest of the unit. It is also easier to operate one handed. Buy holding the unit in place and slowly turning the lever with your thumb. My other model really needs both hands to operate. And last, the price on this model is about $10 less than the other. A great tool and a nice price. Much easier to stick in a small seat bag than a hand pump and works far better and quicker. You'll probably burn through CO2 cartridges inflating anything you can get your hands on. Next—an air mattress attachment?

Hands down the best CO2 inflator I’ve used.
