Can you over inflate using a CO2 cartridge?
Calling all engineers! Yesterday I was told that by pumping in some air using a mini hand pump (to ensure tube is not pinched) before using my 16 gram CO2 cartridge could cause the tire to over inflate and possible burst. Is this True? What is the pressure inside a CO2 cartridge before it is used?

I was never any good at Physics at school :-(

Thanks,
Alan
