I didn't intend this to be an air pump vs CO2 inflator thread. I was just looking for thoughts on how easy the CO2 inflator is or isn't and any recommendations on particular brands.
Not really a pump vs CO2, but I would carry both. You don't want to run out of CO2, or learn that they lost their charge over time or mess up at the valve and waste 90% of a cartridge. I carry two charges and a pump after seeing a few too many people have bad charges, or waste 90% of them and be SOL.
