Probably, but several years ago I helped a local couple plan part of a cross country tour. One day I took a look at the CGOAB journal and saw that they were carrying a full-size Park Tool floor pump. They were also carrying a large, cast iron pot. The wife sounded like she had at least a half dozen books with her. Every day they whined about the slightest incline. No surprise there. I told them to ditch the pump for a Road Morph. They wouldn't because they didn't trust it. "We're o.k." they claimed. And the whining continued. They gave up somewhere in OK or TX.
