Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Briefly, a cylinder of the same size with the same amount of gaseous N2 as a 12 gm CO2 cylinder would be under about 8,500 psi. Do you want one of these in your pocket?
