Does anyone know of a cheap place to get co2 gas refills.
Someone suggested a paintball supplier ut I 'm not sure if these would fit a bike type trigger.
Any help much appreciated.

£10 that's expensive even with 30p cover.

Hold the posts, seems tyre inflators have increased their P+P so ebay one is cheaper if ordering 10.

Thanks for the repies so far.
Another question.
Threaded on non-threaded, whichis best and why?
Does it depend on the type of inflator you have (which I haven't got yet)?

If you were buying a gas inflator which would you go for and why?

Threaded or non-threaded depends on the threads - if the threads are sturdy, then either is fine, but with plastic and high pressure it can be easy to destroy the threads (and lose C02) so if it is mating metal to metal, then it's going to be better than plastic to metal, which is better than plastic to plastic, you want it to hold together properly so that the C02 makes it into your tyre, not out into the air.

+1tyreinflators

Especially if you can get another box for a mate and share the postage as the p&p cost is the same for multiples

Get the yellow microflate nano. Avoid the Air Chuck Elite at all costs. I have both an dthe Air Chuck needs to be pressed on very hard and leaks. The nano is superb and doesn't require force to operate (you unscrew the CO2 canister to inflate). You'll need threaded refills.
