My on board pump is about 12 Inches long in the mount, It raises my 29 X 2.10 10 psi for every 50 pumps, so, about 150 ta fix a flat,, a nice sweaty workout,, Good stuff man !

A Co2 user:
Pfffftfttfff,, "Dang,, lost half the air",,, second 12 gram cylinder, Pfffffffft, "Cool got that in",,, 'Dang,,, tires still flat",,, Pffffffffft,, " my last cylinder,,," Dang,, tires still flat",,,,,,,, "Gotta remember ta buy more cylinders"
NOTE : them cylinders take 4,372 years to go back into the environment, go on, fill up those landfills,,, good job

You choose..

Yup, with CO2 you run out of cylinders, never heard of a pump running out of air, mind you the operator can run out of pump, but then you just sit for a few minutes to recover, then resume.... Just thinkin' here, suppose you made a cylinder with a valve in it, say a presta like valve, then you make two small units, one attaches to a standard CO2 tank, when you screw the cylinder on, you press a button, it depresses the valve and pumps gas into the cylinder at pressure from the tank, when the cylinder is full, it releases the valve. The inflator could be a simple valve and the trigger is attached to a pin that depresses the valve. Yeah I know a 10lb CO2 tank can fill about 280 cartridges, so you might never get another one.....
