Went with the Genuine Innovations Air Chuck SL.
Thanks for the advice and suggestions.
I feel confident that this is what I need & want.
Reliable, compact as all heck and well reviewed.

A wise decision. You can't go wrong the Air Chuck. Test it in the garage before you try it on the road. It is easy but is always good to practice.

this is my favorite, no muss no fuss, no valves to open or close or freeze up. plus it is easy to carry. they are hard to locate, I had to order them from the UK

Interesting... It looks like you have to screw it on the valve, then screw the cartridge in to activate. Have you used it yet? How well does it work?

Don't forget: Co2 permiates through bitumen tubes. After your ride home on a repair, deflate your tube all the way and re-inflate it with air via your floor pump.

There's a company call Red Rock Minnesota that's mentioned upthread. The link to their page is:
https://www.redrockminnesota.com/serv...ges/Categories
Also mentioned upthread is the fact that they sell on Ebay also. However, if you purchase directly from them as opposed to their Ebay store, you'll save a couple of bucks.

You also get a life time warranty with the Air-Chuck. I had to use it when my o-ring wore out.

+1 on CO2 dispensers. I use the Ultrainflate from GI. It's larger because it has a chamber to hold the cartridge and protect my hand from the freeze.
I recently helped a fellow cyclist to inflate her tire because her mini pump didn't work. 12g was enough to get her to her destination.

fwiw, since i found the lezyne pump i only use co2 if i'm really in a hurry or a group is waiting on me. with the quality and ease of use of the lezyne you never have to worry about having enough air, or replacing carts. just a thought.

you do realize this thread is from 5 years ago, right?
but while on the subject, I have heard that these combo pump/CO2 units are not that good for either application. Any actual experience??

The news is that it might have actually worked!!
The truth is that the "advanced search" works really well, while the basic search is a piece of crap. I don't quite understand why it has not been fixed.
