The co2 cylinders are fine for a 700c road tyre (with far less volume), can't see why they would over inflate a mountain bike tire with higher volume. In fact, I'd be more worried about under inflation (but I'm sure it works fine as long as the valve fits on the c02)brummie65 wrote:what are they like and will they over inflate running a 26 x 1.95 tyre
I was a co2 skeptic, but I never leave the house without mine any more - so much faster than a pump.

I remember researching this when getting a CO2 inflator for my wife. I found a site somewhere that gave the resulted pressure for a few various tyre sizes and found that a 16g cannister would get both my Road and MTB to pretty close to my ideal pressure. Found a site that suggests a 16g one will put 33psi in your 26x1.95. How close is that to what you run?
