Vintage frames and larger pumps look great and work much better than a mini pump. I'd totally do the same!





Again, I'm not knocking pumps. To the OP, it's hard to say what is the best setup, the easiest answer is a setup that you're familiar with and can execute easily on the road. I like the portland design works chuck because I can screw it open and closed, this allows me to shoot a bit in the bad tube and find the hole. When I know where the hole is, I can inspect the tire for anything that might have caused the hole. Once I have that worked out, I can change the tube like normal and air up the tire with the rest of the co2.
