Just after some recommendations on which C02 canisters people use?

I've tried the cheap ones (£6 for 10 types) and they just don't seem to work very well with any of the inflators I have. However, the slightly more expensive ones like Lifeline work well, but CRC seem to be out of stock of those at the moment.

Always get them, 25g, when they are on offer at planet X

@bruneep - I'm sure those were the ones I bought before which don't seem to seal well with any of my tyre inflators.

On that basis it might be worth getting a different inflator - it might be cheaper in the long run??

@molgrips - I thought they were too, but the cheap ones I've used don't seem to seal on the inflator properly and I lose most of the air.

I use the threaded co2 ones from bruneeps link.

I say use....I bought a box of 20 about 10 years ago - most of which still in the van door.

Only use them when racing as seems wasteful to just use them because CBA using a pump

what inflator do you have the problem seems to be with your inflator. As many people i know use the same ones as I linked to without issue

I’ve always got on fine with the Decathlon ones.

I bought the cheapest box of 50 (yes fifty) for something daft , like £12 on ebay a few years ago.

They work well with the same inflater  as Bruneep posted a pic of - it takes threaded and non threaded too

Did you manage to get your CO2? I got 15 of the 25g Lifeline ones the other day and won't be using them now so can pass them on if you like.
