Never having use one before, could anybody tell me if the following would be any good for me to save me having to carry a manual pump?

Thanks in anticipation

Yes that would work fine... however.. you should still carry a minipump.
Each canister only carries enough CO2 for one tyre inflation. If you get it wrong when inflating or another puncture. Unless you carry more canisters with you, you will be in a little trouble.

Yes its ok but I use this instead: http://www.tyreinflators.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=269&category=4

There isn't really any need for the fancy holder that your ebay one has.

The site is also a good source for the C02 cannisters.

BTW I still carry a pump, sometimes you have more punctures than Co2 canisters your carrying. Its just more convenient/faster to use Co2.

Thats a good price , nearly as cheap as buying the cannisters on their own from a LBS , i use a weldite version that looks very similar .Yes i know you can get the canisters dirt cheap on thats site
