Portable pump suggestions

[LIBERATOR]

Man, I probably lost 100 hours of my life to flat tires and not having
a pump to fix them when stranded at night.

So, I want to buy a pump. Anyone got good suggestions on a model/brand
that works and actually fills the tires (both schroeder and presta) to
their suggest PSI?

Got one of these. Good little pump and comes in a seat bag. Called the
bikers dream and will fit schraeder and presta valves.

I use CO2 on the trail, will fill a tire in seconds, and a floor pump at
home.
But then, since I went tubless the only use for it on trail is with other
riders tube tires.

I have the microflate, and it seems to work perfectly.

All those are great but one thing most forget is a pump needs to be
strapped to the frame right or you may lose it. Or you can store it in
a pack.

Road Morph has a foldout handle, a fold out foot thing, does both valves,
fit's in a MULE.
Even has a gauge by the nozzle.

Any preferred Co2 styles/brand names that are good and bad?

What should I avoid, and which one is good to buy?

Thanks.

CO2 is good for the quick fix, but then you always have to pump it up
the next day with a regular pump. I don't know the science involved but
for some reason the CO2 seems to dissipate. I just use it for GRS since
it's a lot smaller to carry than a pump.

That's because the CO2 is heavier than air, so it pools in the bottom
of the tire overnight. Just give the tire a good shake to mix it back
in, and you're fine.

The same thing happens with low altitude air.

I found that I had to shake my sea level air
filled tires every morning in Fruita or the
handling felt sluggish.

Don't EVER do this with a Slimed tire, however.

Conversely, my bike felt pretty spry in Fruita, probably because of all
the light air I had in there from the G-Spot!

hehehe pretty funny.

I use the Topeak Harpoon Masterblaster Frame mount pump, and it'll get up to
just under 40# pretty quick.
