Having been burnt previously on Kickstarter I vowed never again but this struck me as possibly worth a punt:

Interesting idea, would want to see how effective they actually are being buying.
Not convinced on the whole two-in-one drinking system and inflator idea.

Rubbery water would be lovely
Also, when out you'd need to pressurize it with a hand pump. Might be a bit more grunt work than when using a track pump in the garage

Nice idea as a get-out-of-trouble fix on a trip as you'd have a bottle already, use this as a bottle and carry the spare head just in case. I'd be in if it showed an unseated Schwalbe being seated in one go off that small bottle ... I expect that tyre was seated already. If it works well once released I'm tempted.

Does anybody here use their valves? If so what are they like, any good?

Looks like the fuel bottles I have at home. If the pressurised air want do, set it on fire and boom! It'll get seated for sure.
Thanks for sharing. Will look closer into it

I use the full set up Duncan. It's actual next level. Wouldn't go back to what I was doing before.dlovett wrote:Does anybody here use their valves? If so what are they like, any good?

Not worth going valves on their own imo - you want the full kit for the full benefit. Doesn't cost that much.
