Comments about Innovations Ultraflate Plus Bike Tire Inflator:

This is a great little Co2 pump that fits easily in your windbreaker pocket or riding pack. It's cost effective and so easy to use, a caveman can do it (no offense to any cavemen who might be reading this review). Always keep a couple of spare Co2 cartridges with you in case of emergencies. You can keep one cartridge in the chamber ready to go due to the trigger lock that prevents negligent or accidental discharge. A dirt cheap way to fill your tubes ultra fast in a pinch.

This is easy to use and fast. I find it a bit difficult to regulate pressure, so I treat it gingerly.

Really convenient to throw this in my back jersey pocket and ride off without worrying when my next flat tire will be. Gives me great confidence to know that I have such a fast, precise tool to help me in a fix.

Comments about Innovations Ultraflate Plus Bike Tire Inflator:

Bigger than the little cap guys, but not much bigger. I like it because I can use any old CO2 cartridge on it, not just the threaded ones. The extra plastic also covers the cartridge when you're using it so you don't freeze your palm when you aren't paying attention.

Comments about Innovations Ultraflate Plus Bike Tire Inflator:

There is no reason for this thing to be so big. It works just fine but takes up too much space in my little saddle bag. Instead, go for one of the mini ones that just screws onto a cO2 cartridge, even though the threaded cartridges are a bit more expensive, the space savings is totally worth it.

Awesomeness in your palm

Cons

Comments about Innovations Ultraflate Plus Bike Tire Inflator:

I've seen complaints on it's size and blah blah blah. Come on, it's really not that big. The only thing those mini CO2 pumps have is the top part, they don't come with bodies. This one comes with a body that you can store an unused or used CO2 cartridge in (for unused cartridge you store it upside down and there's a hole on bottom of body for the neck to fit out of). So when it comes down to it, it doesn't take up any more room than having a CO2 cartridge and CO2 inflator. The biggest selling point is that it's universal (12 or 16, threaded or non threaded, presta or schrader) and the control lever that lets you control the flow of CO2 that you spit out. I've gone on quite a bit of rides where a friend will get a flat and use their CO2 inflator and use 2 CO2 cartridges because they can't control the flow once the cartridge is pierced and they had a hard time connecting it to the tube. That's when you waste $4 on a cartridge that you never used. I've recommended this to every friend I ride with.

Comments about Innovations Ultraflate Plus Bike Tire Inflator:

This pump is a bit of a chunky monkey, but compared to standard strap-on bike pumps, it is tiny. Fits easily in a saddle bag and pumps your tires fast and easy. I suggest using the 16g instead of the 12g Co2 cartridges. It would be nice if it came with a built in gauge, but one can tell when a tire is pumped by feeling the tire. Great little pump gets the job done!

Comments about Innovations Ultraflate Plus Bike Tire Inflator:

It uses various sized (and threaded an non-threaded) CO2 cartridges. If I need to borrow a cartridge on the road because I'm out, or have used up what I had, a pump that uses all sizes is invaluable. Also used it to fill up my cultivator and wheel barrow tires. And, it's been my experience that it doesn't leak once a cartridge is screwed in.
