You guys think it's worth it to carry a few co2 pumps for flats on the rides? I've got a bunch of extra cartridges from playing airsoft, so i'm wondering if it's worth it to pick up one of the rei to carry around too?
Also, do you guys have a recommendation on a small pump for a bag?[/url]

mountain morph is a little fatter, pushes as much air, and is shorter. I find the 13.5 inch long road morph is a little uncomfy... in my bag.
The trouble with those fucking co2 things is that you only get one fucking chance, and it's not even a very good chance. And you can't put a few pounds in to help seat the tube after you change it. And you can't put in 15 pounds and work the bead into the hooked rim. And you can't try again when you inevitably fuck it up.

Road Morph. Bought, and on it's way.
How much pressure on a 700x23c tube would you get out of one canister of CO2 anyway?

also the co2 will leak out of your newly inflated tire much faster than regular air so you'll need to deflate/reinflate at home anyway. maybe if you had someh instead it wouldn't be a pain in the ass.
