And why not just use this:

Use the CO2 for quick fill and IF you happen to use all catridges, you're not SOL.

I've seen them in action. If you use up all your cartridges, you're hosed;)

I was trying to decide whether to buy a mini pump or CO2 cartridges to take along in my Camelback. More of the responses leaned toward a mimi pump so I figured that's the way to go. I've looked at some like Blackburn and Crank Brothers and people either said they were awesome or complete pieces of junk, there was no middle ground. Any suggestions? Also, has anyone benefited or used creatine as a supplement? I know it's good for lifting weights but just wondered if helped with biking. Thanks for any help.

Are you looking for energy over the long haul.... easy to pack, etc..

Try e-caps and hammer gel... you can buy their gels on line through Amazon..etc.. but their complete product line is sold on their web site...
These supplements don't ahve any simple sugars, taste the best I've tried... Army Hooah bars, Power bars and GU.... and give me the sustained energy with out the simple sugar bonk....

I bought one for my road bike. Makes me "feel" safe if I kick all my cartridges. Stand by for a thread I will post later cursing it and calling it the world's biggest piece of shyte. :mad:

EDIT: If I get 3 flats on my road bike on one ride then life sucks that day and I probably should have taken the bus or just stayed home.
