I saw a video and co2 gets you cold. Do you use gloves?

No, mine have a red foam sleeve that fits over the cartridge. I got mine from MEC years ago. It looks like this WalMArt one but the sleeve on mine is red not black.

Or... if you ride with gloves, a non-issue.

I've never used anything other than the glove I wear while riding.

My guess (and I can't speak for the OP) is that they got here by accident, just like me right now. I thought I was in the General Cycling forum when I ran into this thread. The problem is (at least if you're using Firefox browser), the pages on this site jump a inch or two up to a few times every time it loads. And even when I am specifically clicking on the "General" forum, the page jump winds up causing the click to come in here.
