I have a nice little Lezyne Road Drive pump for the two bikes that can't fit a frame pump. It takes FOREVER to fill a 700 x 28 tire.

I actually carry a very small crank Bros. Pump in my bag. I pump a tire up enough to seat the tire bead and finish filling it with CO2. of course if I use CO2 out riding I deflated the tire at home and pump it up with air . Because it will be lw in a day or two anyway

Yes! I buy the 12g cartridges in bulk dirt cheap from Walmart (I think 20 bucks for 40 cartridges).
You need an inflator that takes UNTHREADED cartridges, typically they have a “base” that screws into the inflator.
Here is a pic of mine. Brand is “Hurricane” but there are others.

That looks like one I found some time back but have not been able to find since. I also run those 12g cartridges because they are so cheap. I hate how they went to the 16g threaded ones to make them more exclusive and expensive. For a 23c and probably a 25c tire, a 12g is plenty to get you rolling again.

How long before we devolve into the discussion about leaving empty Co2 cartridges on the side of the road? Ready GO!
