I had enough flats last year that I started counting pump strokes. About 100 strokes on a Road Morph to get 700Cx32 tires to 75 psi, which is as low as I care to go. Somewhere around 125-140 to get close to 90 psi. Sure makes you appreciate a good floor pump.

Sorta kinda right, though it depends on the situation. 5 miles from home? Good enough. 30 miles from home with a front blowing in? Quicker to get inside, and easier, if you keep pumping.
