Scared-a** bastards! You know damn well you can help the bro out, you just don't want to give out your "precious" resource.

Me: "I got you man. You can use my bad-a**ed Lezyne carbon fiber pump!" "Trick? What, you like the pressure gauge hose, don't you?!"

Carriers. Hahahaha!

You can use my C02 anytime. What's the worst that could happen. My wife would have to come get me. It wouldn't be the worst thing to ever happen to me.

But what will they do when the CO2 runs out!

The pump is the back-up. CO2 to quickly help in getting back on the road after a flat. The pump in case the CO2
malfunctions or you run out of CO2 for some reason.

What is the most flats you have every had on a ride? Well, just carry enough CO2 for that many flats. During the 7 years that I have been using CO2, I never ran out. Four CO2s and an Air Chuck still weights less and take up less space than my old mini pump.

I carry CO2 cartridges for me, and a ****ty little mini pump for YOU!

OOh, I really like that. You could just keep a cheap one on you and throw it at the guy as you fly by.

I rode with the race rocket hp in my jersey pocket for the first time, I found the silicone handle grip really helps keep the pump firmly in the pocket. Nice little advantage that I never thought about.
