FRame Pump anybody?
This system has left me either walking or in need of rescue twice in the past week. In fairness part of this may be user error–and overly high expectations. Though it comes equipped with a “regulator” valve of sorts, in my experience it is barely better than all or nothing–about 1/8 of a turn which tends to stick with the cold. So you get what you get. Provided you know the tube won’t blow at complete discharge, a quick way to inflate a flat. But no room for in between. This is an issue with the CO2 system generally, just warning those readers who see the knob and figure they can dial in pressures in whatever situation. After two bail out situations, I just bought a good frame pump. YMMV.

Quick and easy
Small, light, and fast. After using a mini pump for a while, I was so please at the ease of using this CO2 inflation for the first time. Simply make sure the red valve is closed, screw in a CO2 cartridge, screw the chuck onto your presta valve, and open the red valve (and don’t hold the CO2 cartridge because it gets very cold very quick).As others have said, the knob is just really on / off. Don’t expect you can regulate flow with it. The trick is just knowing what size cartridges for your tire, so practice at home where you have access to a floor pump with a gauge so you know what you are getting. One 16g cartridge will bring my 27 x 1.25″ tire from 0 to 65psi. Not perfect, but enough to get me to a floor pump and a lot better than walking. With my 700 x 25c, 0 to 100psi, almost perfect.I haven’t had any issues with my inflator leaking as the tire reaches pressure and another reviewer stated, perhaps a manufacturing issue?

Saved me in a tough spot!
Halfway into an aggressive and difficult mountain bike trial, my rear tube was punctured. We had the Red Zeppelin along and it did the job well after patching the tire. While one CO2 cartridge was not enough to reach the desired PSI in my large mountain bike tire, it was enough to get me off the mountain. I don’t like hauling a lot of weight and have lost and broken so many pumps, I only carry CO2 inflators now. The only negative is that this one is not as small in size as some others. It works great though – for the price and performance, I am not complaining. Tip: It is wise to always have two CO2 cartridges with you.

Tried-and-true CO2 Inflator design
This is the original Red Zeppelin CO2 tire inflator that is made of metal and build to last with a tried-and-true design. It is reliable and very easy to use. I waited to put up a review until I had first hand experience with it. The inevitable came when the front tire of my gravel bike got a flat after picking up a goathead (aka Puncture Vine / Devil’s Thorn) on the trail during a ride. After removing the thorn and replacing the tube, it took less than ten seconds from installing the cartridge to inflating the tire (700C x 32) using one of the two included 16g cartridge. I didn’t have a tire gauge with me but based on (pinch-feel), one 16g cartridge easily filled the tire up to 60psi range which is more than enough to continue and finish my ride. Anyone looking for a compact, lightweight, reliable and simple to use bike tire inflator, look no further. This is the one you’re looking for.

Quick and simple
Great tool. Quick and precise control of how much CO2 you are releasing. And the foam sleeve protects you from the freezing when the CO2 releases. Not as light as other units but WAY more user friendly.

Easy to use, excellent inflator
Somehow my front bike tire lost pressure. Fortunately I had my Red Zeppelin inflator. I couldn’t find a puncture, so I just used the CO2 cartridge to inflate the tire. The pressure held until I go back to my car. Later a bike shop indicated the sidewall had separated from the rim enough to let the pressure out. But the CO2 held long enough that I didn’t have to walk home, which would have been a very long walk.

Pretty high pressure in these things
I can’t leave a review of the product as it is because that isn’t how I’m using it. I just needed the fitting to use with argon for a reactor prototype. I’m just curious how the heck this is supposed to not blow bicycle tires up when it sure blew my reactor core seals sky high 😭The valve has no regulation at all. It didn’t leak, but my vacuum pump did. I thought I was discovering that the solenoids I selected were insufficient.I don’t believe I will have this problem with the argon canisters I plan to actually use. I was simply trying to purge the system of air with the c02 and it blew the seals so hard the cylinder jumped 3 inches ha.I guess the total volume of a tire is a lot higher than the displacement of my rig and with no expansion points it took out the seal.No real harm done, and my own mistake. The valve itself is very handy and suites my needs as anticipated. Off to repair my time machine.

Wish I didn’t need it. Glad I had it with me.
Of course the first day I put this in my saddle bag I ended up getting a flat and needed to use it.It fit my presta valves and quickly and easily inflated my tubes. I was able to get multiple inflations from a single cartridge too, which was nice. It’s super small, lightweight, easy to fit into a small saddle bag, and a must-have for a repair kit while riding.
