Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I'll concede the Silca is little fiddly (screw onto valve stem, then thread in the cartridge), other than that, it works great and holds pressure for days.

I just don't like co2 inflators in general.
