Recomend me a good one? Or should I get a seperate inflator and pump?
Aboput CO2 inflators, are all threded ones the same (apart from size) or do I have to use the right brand? Ditto unthreaded.
Just got a Lezyne HP Drive. Slightly nervous when it turned up as I got the small sized one, but it easily got up to 90psi in a couple of minutes - pretty good for the size and enough not to kill the ride.
i jjust got an airstick SL too - just tested it at home so far, but does seem very good
I would have a separate inflator and pump - just feels "safer".
I have one of these on its way to me.
...dunno if they are any good though 😉

I carry both, have a Blackburn Carbon Airstick, and a Genuine Innovations CO2 pump.
Went for this, as it takes threaded & threadless cartridges (I get what ever is cheapest).
Would carry both, as it's worth pumping the tire a little to get it seated correctly before using gas.
Have found that the CO2 will be good for 7-8 hours / 125-150 KM before you need to be careful with pinch flats due to the CO2 leaching out and pressure loss.
Cheers, I've got blackburn and lezyne pumps for the MTB and a topeak track pump so the consensus seems to be stick to knwon brands and I'll be fine.

Not great as a pump, but you'd only use it as one as a last resort.
