CO2 Inflator?
#1
I'm unable to use a pump, other than to fill the innertube enough to install it on the wheel. I need a CO2 inflator to bring the tire up to pressure.
I'm told I'll need three 16gram cartridges to get a 26 x 2.125 tire up 30psi. I ride at 35psi.
Inflator manufacturers seem to insist that "generic" cartridges will not work properly & will void the warranty. Generics like these are at least half the price of "brand name" cartridges.
Do any of you have an inflator you like that works well with these "generic" cartridges? Either 12 or 16 gram, threaded or not.
Thanks for your help.
