Innovations Ultraflate IH Pump
Product DescriptionOur newest inflator represents the state of the art in CO2 inflation. IH stands for intelligent head. Our new intelligent head brings several new technologies to CO2 inflation. First, the ability to accommodate either presta or schrader valves in a single, non-threaded valve port located in the front of the head. Just push the Ultraflate IH onto your valve and it will detect which type it is no threading necessary. Then lock it on by bringing the thumb lever up. To inflate just push the red CO2 button located under the thumb lever. Easily control the rate of inflation using our all new light action flow technology. Weather resistant sealed design for nearly maintenance free operation. Includes one 12-gram non-threaded CO2 cylinder.

from Colorado Springs Date Reviewed: December 30, 2003 Strengths: Light, inexpensive, uses cheap 12g standard CO2 cartridges (by them at KMart or Wal-Mart), easy to use, quick to fill. Also great to speed up installation of new tubes/tires. Has held up well - I fill a lot of tires, mostly those of others who got flats and are having trouble with their pump Weaknesses: None so far (other than keep a lot of cartridges handy - buy them in the 25 or 50 box packs). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $13.00 Purchased At: Performance Similar Products Used: Various threaded CO2 cartridge adapters Bike Setup: Specialized Rockhopper, RaceFace cranks, Skarab fork, Terry Ti Fly saddle, SRAM 7.0 deraillers and shifters, XT brakes

from Orlando, Florida, US Date Reviewed: November 18, 2003 Strengths: Lightweight, quick when it works Weaknesses: This CO2 inflator pump, has the design flaw of plastic threads. When tightening the base, mine was apt to cross-thread, thus diminishing the value of the CO2, a good deal would leak out around the gaskets and my hand. Ouch, very cold! I'm going to contact the manufacturer and see about a replacement. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Chubb - St.Louis, MO Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $15.00 Purchased At: Supergo Similar Products Used: The air chuck, by Innovations. This is by far the best CO2 pump I have used, very simpley made, and simple to use. But do not leave CO2 canisters attached to chuck for a long time. Bike Setup: Trek 5200 and Trek Fuel

from Westwood MA Date Reviewed: May 2, 2003 Strengths: Small, light, fast, cheap Weaknesses: You have to buy CO2 cartridges and inconvenience of doing so, you have to be careful you don't trap your inner tube when inflating. Inflating is pretty much a one shot deal. If you run out of cartridges and have more flats, you've had it -but think: how many flats have you ever had at one time?

from Cupertino, CA, USA Date Reviewed: April 23, 2003 Strengths: C02 cartridges fit in easily, and seem to seal well. Lever lock and button look nice, feel nice, and may work on schrader valves, but have not tried yet. Good solid construction, attractive design. Weaknesses: SUCKS on presta valves. I have gone through 4 cartridges 'practicing' on my MTB tube before relying on it in the field, and I can't get it to seal onto the valve. Furthermore, I am unable to install the pump onto the valve without leaking any and all air out of the tube while attempting to 'lock' it on with the lock lever. The "intelligent head" is a nice idea, but Innovations seems to need better beta testing before product release. Also, it's bulky for a seat bag storage unit, use duct tape!

from SHALIMAR,FL Date Reviewed: January 18, 2003 Strengths: none Weaknesses: Maybe the "autodetect" valve as it was advertised works on schraeder valves but it sure doesn't work on presta valves. There is nothing "auto" on the the valve. To make is smaller to fit the presta valve you have to use the silver lever which in turn squeezes a rubber ring to make the opening smaller. Unfortunately not small enough. After 6 empty cartridges I thought that maybe it was me, so I asked my local bikestore for help. They pulled a brandnew pump of the shelf and tried it on one of their bikes. After three cartridges the owner actually threw it in the garbage can and says: "Well, I guess I won't be ordering any of those any more". Also the red button that is supposed to control the airflow so nicely seized up several times so that you could not stop the airflow (this happened also in the bike store). This button is so hard to push that I had to use both my hands making it almost impossible for my girlfriend to use (and she is the one I had bought if for). I checked back with the bike store and they really stopped carrying it. This thing sucks !!!!

from jackson, wyoming Date Reviewed: June 2, 2001 Strengths: Fast, durable, small enough to fit in seat bag. Single port for both Presta and Schrader valves! Better than the original Ultraflate as it has more features. Easiest pump to use on the market today! Weaknesses: None, this pump is so good you won't need anything else.
