So far, I'm 0-for-2 on the CO2 system actually working when needed. Most
recently, I screwed the unit together to puncture the threadless CO2
cartridge, and the puncture was just enough to release all CO2 out the side
of the unit and ultimately disintegrated the housing right in my hand. Must
have been quite a POS unit, I agree. I like the CO2 concept, but so far
have not been successful using it, and my confidence in the CO2 systems is
pretty much nil at this point.
Just wanted to check the group to get opinions (good and bad) about using
CO2 vs. carrying a pump. Since frames no longer include the pump 'nipple',
I'd have to use velcro straps to attach the pump to the top bar, which is
pretty clunky (imo).
Also, what are the preferred brands of CO2 systems and/or pumps?
