I was thinking in terms of a portable mini-pump with a plug for the CO2 cartridge... anything on the market?

    I have a similar sort of device but couldn't be arsed when I needed it today, I just pumped it manually then rode to the nearest LBS which is a rare thing out this way, I just happened to be only 5 miles away.

    Another potential contender from Lezyne

    I've had this for about 4 or 5 years and it was good but the CO2 part doesn't work anymore, a seal broke and I can't find a replacement. The pump still works and I carry it with me.

    I do not get the point of these. Why is it better than having them separate?
    Only advantage I can think of is that it forces you to have a pump with you.

    The Topeak one losses the flexi hose that was the best thing about it as a hand pump, and looks a complete faff to use as a Co2 inflator.

    The Lezyne one looks wkd, but thats only because it is basically two separate things and not really a combined unit in the same way the others are.
    Using the detachable hose as the Co2 attachment is pretty cool, and means you can leave the pump at home :lol:

    Ha would you believe it, because of this thread and my unscheduled deflation nyesterday I thought I'd have a look at the co2 feature of my SKS secondwind road and much to my surprise the end wouldn't come off to allow fitting of a co2 cartridge so naturally I stuck it in a vice and forced it open, I wasnt expecting to find a sealed end with no valve for the compressed air.

    Seems ive managed to buy a duff or demo model, manufacturer has been emailed :roll:
