Exactly! On the road, a friendly shade tree mechanic can make life much easier if you have the adapter with you. Other wise, have the CO2 cartridge and hand pump ready.
For home use, I have adapters for shrader use. I have both a compressor or floor pump at hand and don't expect to replace either till they go bad.
