...I'm off to the bike shop to buy a nice long, grown up pump, or inflator, as they are now called...

...never tried CO2, any good?

    You're just hoping another thread you start will get 14,000 posts, and I claim my £5 :)

    dunno but the mini pump I do have while seems to slowly work at home in the rain last fairy visit failed to do the job so I've moved to CO2 and we shall see.

    CO2 is okay for an emergency but bear in mind that is expands and contracts due to temperature differences more than air.

    I bought a track pump on ebay that will pump my tyres from flat to road pressure in about 20 strokes. Excellent piece of kit imo.

    Blackburn Air Support - a mini pump that actually works, cheapish too.

    you NEED a proper trackpump for home though, that goes without saying.

    Mini pump + Co2 for use on the road = perfect. If you use the gas then reinflate the tires with your trackpump once home.
