0 to 60psi in 2 seconds / MBR magazine

[Albert Fish]

this day, I are mostly been receiving in the post:

my subscription gifts from MBR (mountain bike rider) magazine

Jetvalve MK II Gas Pump Deluxe Cytool Rivex rivet extractor

claimed value of goods £20 subscription cost £17.33 / 6 months value rating high

Cytool: average multi tool. heavy. adequate. Rivex: removes links, what's to know

Jetvalve MK II : wow ! this one's much better than my last, it dumped 60 psi into a tube in seconds.
if the noise of the gas going in hadn't startled me I would have burst the tube

my old no name co2 pump was not nearly as good as the Jetvalve MKII and the lower centre of gravity
(due to co2 in the tyres) gives my bike better handling characteristics.

free stuff in the post and the sun is shining. perfect end to the week.

For a few quid more, use C14 instead of poxy old C12 in the C02. That extra atomic weight really
helps the the centre of gravity. And it's only mildly radioactive. Downside is it will decay
after a while.

Nevermind, it'll be pissing down by the weekend.

hey, I'm sold. and depending on your tyres you shouldn't really worry about radiation. Wouldn't the
rubber in the tyres shield you from the beta particles?

CO2? Helium's the thing!

Except it will diffuse out of the tyre faster, so that it loses pressure.

AIR is cheaper and won't diffuse out so fast. Apply using zéfal hp-x. Don't expect rapid
inflation though...
