Exclamation Funky CO2 inflator thing.....

Is a pile of arse.

Puncture halfway to work.

Ah ha! Time to test the funky CO2 inflation canister thing.

POP BANG - it blew out its gromets, gave me a cold burn and didn't blow up my tube.

Home on train - still "worked from Home today" -oh yes and refitted my stubby pump.

Some things just shouldn't be messed with

No dad I didn't test the funky thingy first.

I'll go and tidy my room.

In fairness it shouldn't just blow its grommets!

I just bought one... my LBS told me to practice at home once or twice b4 i need it.. cause if you don't have them lined up properly, they will expel their contents outside of your tube... I of course have not tried yet... i carry two canisters with me and a hand pump and my bus pass.
