I could have gone over 100 but certainly not worth the trouble. I got a set of glueless patches with it but I have never used the glueless ones do they work as decent as traditional cement and patch?

Finally in the interest of ease I found some Kenda tubes 4 for $26 on ebay 48m treaded value. Very good deal and now I really see no reason for the CO2 in fact pumping maybe really be as easy and not cold. The pump is machine nice and could go in a back jersey pocket I got the medium length but I put it under the cage. Carry 2 tubes in a saddle bag.
Just a curiosity.. isn't pump volume to tire PSI a linear relationship? Eg. if 100 pumps get you to say 70psi, wouldn't 150 pumps have gotten your tires to 105psi (1.5x more)?
