rekmeyata - The way I see it, ideally you won't be using it very often so cost wise it won't bankrupt you. I'd rather get back to riding asap instead of getting an arm workout haha. In any case, I plan on taking the spend cartridges with me and either throw them away later when I see a garage can or recycle them when I get home. Like you said, I can't stand finding spend CO2 on the side of the path because someone was too lazy to throw it away like they should.
I don't consider pumping a bike tire up to be much of a workout, if that was the case than riding a bike would probably be too strenuous to do as well.
WheresWaldo; thanks I forgot to mention the other con to CO2 and that is the fact they do leak out in 24 hours which means when you get home you need to completely drain your tire of the CO2 air and refill with normal air from a pump, or you find it flat and have to refill. You all can go ahead and waste your time doing that, but when I go home my tire is full of air for the next day and at the most have to add in 2 or 3 pounds.
