I've got a Lezyne speed drive
Lovely small piece of kit that fits really neatly in my bike bag (so small that the most likely problem is that it will drop out and get lost). I've never had any problems with "freezing" my hand to the CO2 cartridge, so don't see the need for any plastic housing or insulation.0 -

+1 for this one. Have it myself and its is small, light & easy to use so basically all I expect any issues with Co2 freezing & I use either a small bit of zinc oxide tape to help grip on the bottle or my gloves.Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.0 -
I've been looking at one of these recently as well. Tempted by the ultraflate because you can use both threaded and non-threaded cartridges with it.
Does anyone know what sort of tyre pressure do you get from 12g and 16g cartridges into a 23mm tyre?0 -

I like the Genuine Innovations Microflate Nano - simple, easy to use and tiny for fitting in a small bag.
In my experience, products with a screw holding something in place, like the one below, end up with the screw coming loose and then the part coming off in your hand. It happened to me twice and a friend who also had the same one.
