Pump

[Per Elmsäter]

What kind of pumps do you carry on your MTB?
I'm looking at finding a good pump that will pump lots of air rather than a
high pressure. That would be a pump suitable for getting a UST tire seated.
Once it's seated it doesn't need all that much pumping ;) Of course I also
wan't to mount it under/beside my waterbottle.

I carry in my pack, first of all, and second of all I carry whatever I find
for free on the trails after races. Last count we had 8 spare pumps
acquired this way. They all have a presta/schrader converter in them, and
the really cool one has a little pressure guage.

I meant that photo of Clyde you sent me, silly. Or was that a terrible
slip-up on your part? :)

I'm sold on the CO2. Now more than ever, since I'm going to UST.

I personally don't carry a pump. Ive never had a flat.

I also have the Mammoth, it has a nice wide barrel that moves a high volume
of air quickly. I never run above 40 psi in my tires, so when my arm gets
tired I just stop pumping. And it's short enough to stow easily in my
Camelbak.

Strongly recommend the Blackburn Mammoth. Easy to take apart and
clean/rebuild. I have had mine for a number of years and no regrets.

Penny.
Why did you send me those muddy pumps with SPD cleats on them? Is there
something I don't know?

How big a cartridge do you carry? I just tried it on my UST tire and it
worked fine except I only got 20 psi out of it. I believe I have 16 gram CO2
cartridges. I would like at least 35 psi which is minimum recommended
pressure on my Schwalbe Jimmys.

I've used only the 12 gram cartridges, but that was tubed tires. I was able
to get more than 20 psi with just one. Was the bead already set when you
pumped the air in? Perhaps there was some air loss before the bead had set.

No I just prepared everything according to the book and blasted it right up.
It seamed that the beads got seated instantly, but of course a small amount
did leak out. If CO2 is the only pump I have along I don't know how to get
around that. I've seen CO2 pump manufacturers claim that they can put 43 psi
into a 1.95" tire with a 16 gram cartridge. That should give me probably 35
in a 2.1" tire which would be quite sufficient.
Of course I could bring a minipump along to get the beads seated but then
again I might as well keep going all the way then. On the other hand it was
how easily the beads got seated that was really nice about using CO2 on a
UST tire.

That's the key, getting the beads set. That something you may not be able to
do with a hand pump.
