Specialized Airtool MTB CO2 Mini Pump


Why carry an inflator and pump, when one tool can do the same job as both? Enter the Airtool CO2, which can accept threaded cartridges to give its inflating powers a huge boost. The concept allows trail riders to have the speed of CO2, without leaving them stranded after a puncture.

It comes with a bottle cage attachment bracket, but there are no instructions to explain the twist-action operation. There is a compromise between form and function, as the Airtool isn’t the most effective mini pump, and you’ll wish you’d carried more CO2 cartridges. A larger volume pump with the same inflator capacities would be welcome.

A great concept, but standard pump action isn’t the most efective.

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
