CO2 cannister and cold fingers - a solution

navrig

When you next have an inner tube which is goosed cut it into 2" sections. They are great for putting over CO2 cannisters to stop that cold burn you get when you use the cannister. Needs a little moisture (use water) to get it over the tube but once on it will stay on. It also makes them easier to grip with numb fingers in the winter.

If you're using a CO2 inflator, you've presumably also got a tube you just removed from the tyre - wrap that around the CO2 - no need for anything extra at all...

and as an added bonus, the pump gets warm as you use it

i use one of these http://www.gorunandride.co.uk/Products/ ... -Co2-Elite nice little neroprene sock thing on it and it never gets too cold on the hands. Nice little button too as when you have used what you need and have any air left you can use it again !

When I buy my CO2 they come with a neoprene sleeve that I just slide over the cannister before using.

I buy mine off eBay usually around £28 for 30, lasts me yonks.
