USING A GAS CYLINDER TO PUMP UP A TYRE

Gas Cylinder

When you need to quickly repair a flat tyre a gas cylinder is the perfect piece of equipment to help. Here is a video to show you how to use a gas cylinder and explain how easy it can be. Chrissie Wellington got caught out in Kona one year as she didn’t know how to use one, Rebecca Keat came to her rescue but she lost 10min (lucky she’s a super star triathlete as she still won, we’re not all so talented). Don’t be caught out as it really is extremely easy.

 

Happy cycling and fingers crossed that you never actually have to use one :)
