Greetings,
Well I got my first flat today after about 600 miles of road riding. Of course I wasn't prepared so I was stuck hanging out on a back road for about 45 minutes until my daughter showed up to give me a lift home. I was at least smart enough to bring my cell.
Anyhow, I want to become more self sufficient going forward. I swung by my local LBS and had them swap out the tube. They were even nice enough to walk me through all the steps of repairing a flat. My plans are to attempt a couple of mock flat repairs at my house to help reinforce what I've learned. I want to make sure that I'm fully prepared next time this happens. My LBS talked me into purchasing this CO2 repair kit which is really nice and compact. (I also picked up a spare tube)

Is anyone familiar with this product and can someone confirm whether or not this will support a presta valve? I'm assuming it's universal but I haven't been able to confirm that. I did take the valve piece out of the package and it does seem to lock onto the presta valve, but I wanted to confirm before using any of the CO2 cartridges. Thanks in advance!
