Have you ever been out on a ride and realize that you are slowly losing air. Before long you have a flat tire. How do you put some extra air inside your tire in order to finish your ride? There are two ways to air up your tires while on a ride. Texas Mountain Bike Trails – www.texasmountainbiketrails.com The first option is to use a handpump, it works the same way as a regular floor pump, but is portable enough to carry with you. It mounts to the side of your frame using a velcro strap or occasionally a clip in mount on your water bottle cage. It works well, and has the benefit of never running out of air. But, it also is time consuming and exhausting. The second option, and better option, is to use a CO2 cartridge, these are available for about in your local bike shop. The CO2 cartridge fits inside of an adapter that pierces the top of the CO2 cartridge. Insert the CO2 into the adapter and place it over the valve on you tire just like you would the adapter on your pump. Then just release the tension of the CO2 and the adapter to release air. This method of airing up your bicycle tire is much faster than using a hand pump and even more portable. You can store these items in your back cycling pocket, your camelbak, or an under the seat bag.
