  • @01jinky You probably don't get it. The idea is that all you carry with you at all times are essentially two things: a patch kit and this little thing. This way, you don't have to carry any CO2 pumps (and their cartridges) or the bigger "portable" tire pumps, spend (waste, really) money on those things and keep paying for the cartridges, as well as help keep out of landfills, as indicated in the video.

    @pip1303, I'll be sending you a message, as this appears to be a truly brilliant idea.

  • So in the end you are still using hand power to pump but instead using a larger device to do it.

  • kool i want 1

  • where do u get 1 in london

  • What a great idea! But how would you make a CO2 bomb without an empty CO2 cartridge?

  • When/where can i buy one.  brilliant.

  • If you had a day-sack to carry this,you would opt for a small, efficient 50g telescopic pump instead because it slips down in the side of the bag easily, weighs about one tenth of the weight & is clean. This device would need a container to prevent getting oil, grease and dirt on whatever you have in your day-sack. Then there is the dirt you will get on your hands, undoing the spindle, fitting it, moving the chain over and putting it all back, as opposed to removing and refitting a valve-cap.

  • Although they CAN be recycled, that doesn't mean that they actually ARE. Furthermore, why invest the metal in disposable cannisters when it's unnecessary? Emergency pumps are superior in that they're re-usable. The CO2 cartridges are ultra-portable (I have yet to see one mountain biker haul along an emergency pump -- just one more thing to lose accidentally, or get snagged in a branch, etc).

    This thing combines the portability of the cartridge with the reusability of the emergency pump.

  • I live in Cambridge, England and we have one of the highest number of bikes per capita of anywhere in the world, and i've never seen anyone use one of those CO2 cartridges, they use pumps, and besides, aren't the CO2 cartridges made of metal which can be recycled?

  • It utterly eliminates the need to carry those disposable CO2 cartridges for emergency tire inflation. That's how it helps prevent landfill use.

    As a rider who has gotten several flats (who hasn't?), and need to carry around an emergency pump, something like this is both faster to use and lighter weight.

    If this were on the market, I'd seriously consider purchasing one.
