I`m thinking of buying a C02 canister system.They seem suitable to pop in a saddle bag saving weight and space what do you use and could you recommend something worth buying?.Thanks.

    Air chuck and non branded bottles. Get a foam sleeve too, as they get cold when the air is let out.

    search C02 for a thread with a tyre inflator type address that does them cheap.

    the air chuck is lighter and it takes non branded cartridges.

    Airchuck SL is the only reliable one I've found.

    I've not carried a traditional pump in years. I use the Ultraflate Plus, I prefer the fact the cartridge is sealed, no frozen hands. Plus the trigger allows you to control the flow. I usually have a cartridge inside (but not punctured), plus one (or maybe two) others in a saddle bag. The Ultraflate plus takes threaded or unthreaded carts up to 16g.

    Ultraflate plus has been fine since I bought it in 08. Only need to carry the head piece if you use threaded cartridges.
