Tubeless Tire Inflation
Although this might not be an efficient use of CO2 cartridges, the Ezi Bike Pump can help out when you don't have access to a suitable compressed air source. I have found that the Ezi Bike Pump rapidly delivers enough CO2 to easily seat my 29 x 2.2 MTB tubeless tire on a tubeless rim. I then top up using a track pump to my desired pressure. This is however, highly dependent on the quality of the seal between the tire bead and rim. Meaning, you can go through several CO2 cartridges trying to get this to work. I get best results when I first paint the tire bead with a one-third dishwash liquid, two-thirds water solution. This assists the initial seal of the tire bead to the rim before you start working the sealant around the tire. A key point here, if you are re-inflating a tire that has already had sealant running in it, make sure the tire valve is pointing upwards (Ezi Bike Pump nozzle facing down as in the demos) and the valve tip is cleaned of any sealant. This is so any sealant caught in the valve is easily blown back into the tire. A downwards facing valve can cause sealant to flow back into the Ezi Bike Pump nozzle and gum up the trigger mechanism.
Internal Icing
I find the discharge of one CO2 cartridge into a bike tire will give plenty enough pressure to ride home on. If you try to run consecutive CO2 cartridges through the pump (that is, one cartridge immediately after the other), ice will build up on the internal pump valve assembly. This can have the effect of holding the valve partially open so any subsequent and immediately used cartridges loaded into the pump will start to discharge before you’ve even pulled the trigger. If this happens, simply give your pump a couple of minutes for the ice to clear and your pump operation will return to normal. Remember, your Ezi Bike Pump is not designed to be used as a primary means of inflation with the use of consecutive cartridges all at once. It will however always do its job for that emergency puncture repair.
A degree of icing is common on all CO2 inflators. If inflating in the rain (or humid conditions) it's also possible that icing can cause a spluttering effect if the discharge nozzle is faced upwards. I found this is easily avoided by directing the pump nozzle sideways or in a down facing position before discharging (like the photo above, included instructions and in the video demo). An up facing nozzle can allow any ice accumulation to fall back into the pump valve assembly, hence the spluttering. Yet, I've even found this issue to be a rare occurrence.
Cartridge Compatibility
Your Ezi Bike Pump will work only with size 16g cartridges both Threaded and Unthreaded. However, I am aware that there is currently a brand of Unthreaded (non threaded) cartridge that can be purchased on this platform that is too short and will not work. The 16g cartridge needs to be of standard length being 88.1 to 88.5mm, like the one included with your Ezi Bike Pump. My experience is that Threaded cartridges (although the thread is irrelevant) are a more consistent size and suggest that these are the better purchase.
Avoiding Leaks
When I have had off-platform customer communications regarding issues of leakage, in the majority of cases it has been due to incorrect use of the pump. The most common being leaving a partially used cartridge in the pump. This damages the seals of any CO2 inflator and causes leaks. Always, first discharge any remaining CO2 in the cartridge and then remove. Also, on one rare occasion, I encountered a manufacturing fault that caused oversized threads on the cartridges. This increased the diameter and prevented the cartridge tip from fully entering the head seal ring. Although the puncture pin still pierced the tip, insufficient compression on the seal allowed gas to escape immediately through the cartridge holder. The issue was resolved by switching to a different box of cartridges.
Please. The Ezi Bike Pump is not to be used for self-defence, scaring the neighbor's cat or shooting your dog. Let's use it for its intended purpose, a bike pump! :)
