If you get a flat, inflating the tire is not the time-consuming part anyway. Whether it takes 30 seconds with an electric gadget, or 3 minutes with a pump, seems irrelevant to me.
Sure, but nobody in my regular group carries a good-sized frame pump. CO2 and the one hero with the gadget. Some carry very small frame pumps, and those can be a PITA.
It just might be that what is irrelevant to you is relevant to me. That's allowed.
My real point was that a slightly larger electric pump works great, with a gauge.
BTW, the weight difference between one of these electric units and a larger frame pump is quite small.
