Please see my original post:

Yes, I already have a portable 12v inflator but I'm looking for something else.
Just checking alternative solutions. Every once in awhile a different think-outside-the-box solution comes along and takes awhile to displace the "common wisdom" even though it is superior.

So it doesn't look like this has happened yet.

i did see your original post. that's the best solution for you, given what exists today.

besides, say there was a can that worked. you don't think filling, checking pressure, filling, checking pressure, repeat, would get to be a hassle for your girl? at least with a portable, you see the psi right on the gauge.

That's why I'm getting one of these:

If there was a little can, it would be so expensive to just add a few psi. Those little bike inflator cans would add some but there isn't enough volume for a big car tire. I say just keep using the 12v one or get a 5-10 gal air tank.

Any decent bike these days runs Presta fittings. I don't know if those CO2 cartridge inflaters handle Schrader valves.
