It's getting to where a person can't state an opinion without triggering someone else. You love CO2 cartridges? Fine, use them. If we ever ride together and you need to use my pump, I'll loan it to you. You won't be the first. - Frank Krygowski |

Are you telling me what to do with my money? No, but from a resource standpoint, it is wasteful. Recycling helps a little, but at the end of the day, you're consuming steel products and compressed gas to avoid pumping up your tire. Do I use CO2? Yes. I'll buy indulgences --give to charity and not buy an F350. -- Jay Beattie. |

I was saying I expected the technology to advance to the point that it was cheaper than manual shifting. Personally, I currently use cheap mechanical STI brifters, and like them very much. If you have a lot of money and want advice as to how to spend it, I recommend snorting cocaine of a whore's tit. |

True. Many pumps "will work" but try it and than try a CO2 filler :-) But "horrendous misuse of resources"... like every can of soft drinks like Coke, 7-up and Pepsi? Besides, one source of CO2 is oil and gas wells. CO2 is just one of the various gasses that contaminate crude oil, or gas, and has to be gotten rid of. I built a gas processing plant in Central Java where the main problem was that the gas in that field was contaminated with a substantial amount of CO2. In most cases the CO2 is simply separated and than simply released into the atmosphere but a German company built a CO2 purifying plant next to the gas plant and bought every cu.ft. of CO2 we could produce. Mainly for the soft drink market but a substantial amount was used to make "dry ice" for shipping raw fish. -- cheers, John B. |
