I get it but as we said above, the crappy head on the chrome ones are almost non functional so I would plan on carrying an inflator.
Of course the pump peg must be utilized, incomplete otherwise.
I'll try and come up with a size recommendation, I think it varies a bit depending on the space as well.
I would strongly consider a silver one as well for variety and/or backup, they can be found with the Campy heads so would actually be functional.
Many that you will find don't work well or at all, I have always been able to get them back online at least well enough to get me home.
Many are cracked at the top of the main tube and some can be cracked at the bottom under the silver sleeve so I always check them.
Another thing that can help is to use a hook to pull the spring down out of the handle and stretch it out for more tension to hold it in place on the frame. They reseat them selves by just compressing with the handle.
