主权项 1. A handlebar assembly for a bicycle including an inflation device, the inflation device comprising: a pressure vessel having a predetermined volume adapted to store a pressurized fluid; an outlet in fluid communication with said pressure vessel; a user-actuated control valve for selectively directing pressurized fluid from said pressure vessel to an external volume comprising a pressure lower than that of the pressurized fluid; a fluid inlet port for directing a pressurized fluid into said pressure vessel, said fluid inlet port being spaced apart from said outlet; a nozzle in fluid communication with said outlet; a flexible conduit comprising a first end, a second end, and a length, said first end provided in fluid communication with said outlet and said second end interconnected to said nozzle such that said conduit and said nozzle are adapted to convey pressurized fluid from said pressure vessel to an external volume; the pressure vessel comprising a pressure relief valve and at least one burst disc; the pressure relief valve comprising a separate component from said control valve, and wherein the pressure relief valve is operable to selectively release pressure from within the pressure vessel; the at least one burst disc provided separate from the outlet, the user-actuated control valve, and the fluid inlet port, and wherein the at least one burst disc at least partially defines a boundary of the predetermined volume of the pressure vessel and comprises a maximum allowable pressure of not more than 7,500 psi.
