CO2 inflators are compact devices that allow cyclists to quickly inflate their tyres using compressed carbon dioxide. These inflators connect to CO2 canisters and deliver air through a valve, making them useful for emergency situations or races where speed is crucial. Although all inflators perform similarly, some have additional features. They come in two main types—inline and angled—and are compatible with threaded cartridges, available in 16g and 25g sizes. While they are a convenient option, they should be seen as complements to traditional bike pumps.
These little gizmos are excellent if you want to pump up your tyres FAST. They're incredibly simple, all of them act as a valve.
Even the best gravel tyres sometimes unseat if they go flat, and a blast of carbon dioxide is far more likely to reseat them than your frantic pumping.
They all achieved the desired outcome of popping air into my tyres however some offer more features than others.
There are variations on the theme but they all aim to do the same thing. Nearly all use threaded cartridges.
