Pretty simple eh?
Carry what you want. Don't come crying back from a ride when you ran out of Co2 carts and had to call somebody to pick you up becuase you were too lazy to carry an airpump and wanted to be a hipster.
This Saturday, I had a flat due to the stem separating from the tube. After I pumped the tire up, I pulled the valve right out of the stem!. Another rider loaned me a tube and we used his CO2 to air the tire up. Worked great and much faster. The group had been waiting but left after the first tube died. After I replace my frame pump with something that won't rip out the valve, I believe I'll get myself a CO2 pump as well. And another tube. If I hadn't been with a group, I would've had to call my SAG vehicle to come pick me up or thumbed a ride. I was a good thirty miles from anyplace that sold bike tubes.
