Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

[QUOTE=Not the Slowest;5880603I have saved more than my fair share of people who
a) Did not get their CO2 to fill the tire correctly
b) Did not have an extra CO2 cartridge.[/QUOTE]

What's the big deal? I guess that I must not get it. The first time that I used CO2 to inflate a bike tire on the road it worked flawlessly. The same's true for the last time and every time in between. I generally carry a couple of cartridges with me but I've never needed more than 1 on a ride.

If you want to use a Road Morph or Zefal or some such frame pump, that's fine with me. I just don't identify with all of the horror stories about using CO2. I've never personally experienced anything like what I've heard and I've never witnessed anybody else having such problems using CO2. I'm wondering how many of these stories are true.
