I guess I never understood the logic of carrying CO2 versus carrying an infinite supply of air via a tiny pump like the Topeak Micro Rocket, which weighs 65 gm versus two 16 gram CO2 cartridges (117 grams), since you still need the CO2 inflater. The logic is pretty simple. *The CO2 will work a lot faster than a little hand pump. The hand pumps can be quite frustrating to properly fill a tube. Wow, I've never been frustrated using a hand pump. Granted I'm not using the really tiny pumps, just the small pumps. I have, that's why I mentioned it. It was probably just a crappy pump or just too small. |
