Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The right tire pressure makes for a great ride, and the Red Zeppelin CO2 inflator from Planet Bike will get you pumped up fast and back in the saddle in no time. An ideal tool for fixing flats, the pump features a precision-machined body and head and an Airflation Control knob that's 100-percent reliable. The head, meanwhile, fits both Presta and Schrader valves (without adapters), so you can inflate both kinds of tires in a pinch. And thanks to the insulated cartridge sleeve, you needn't worry about frozen fingers while operating the Red Zeppelin. Bundled with two 16-gram CO2 cartridges, the Red Zeppelin is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

In one part of the product description it says head only...in another part it says it includes the insulating sleeve.

Truth be told it is the head only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Inflator -- does *NOT* include any CO2, August 1, 2010

5 stars for the Inflator. It is small, lightweight, inexpensive, and does the job. The valve gives you pretty good control. I just bought another for my other bike.

1 star for Amazon on this one. Though the title does say "inflator head only," the description clearly states that it comes with CO2 cartridges. It most definitely does not. While it is still a good value without the CO2, the description is very mis-leading.

I do not recommend this product as a small o-ring has a tendency to fall out. Without the o-ring, the seal with the CO2 cartridge leaks. Also, the unit is larger than others and is difficult to operate if space is tight (e.g. on a disc wheel)
