Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If you buy the threaded CO2 cartridges, do they still leak down like the non-threaded? If they hold the CO2 in between uses, then I think Im going to switch.

the problem is the valves on the pumps. They're not strong enough to hold the pressure for very long and ultimately start leaking, whether threaded or not
