Sorry about that. But a CO2 inflator could work for your bike even if it doesn't work for your bike, so why not just use it for yourself and continue to use the pump system? Then you have the backup and you know you will always use the CQ2 cartrige if she's not around, and she can be happy with her pump.

Man, I just hate hand pumps.... I carry like 5 of those CO 2 cannisters around in case I have to repump or if I don't set the tire bead on the rim correctly or whatever.

Good luck with whatever you decide. We've all been there before. I have too, and I'll be gosh darned if I had the same jerks passing me by and not offering use of their pump while I dragged my bike home.
