What do you carry for pumping your tyres up with?

[Skiwi]

So you don't have to take the wheel off, patch it externally ?

Thought the cartridges were a oncer, you got ones with a two way valve ?

Cartridges are a oncer, he will be referring to topping up the tire after doing the bulk of the work with the canister

I always carry a DRC mini foot pump. Have used it several times & it works well.
Always carry front & rear tubes, levers & patch kit.

Cheers G.M.

I just carry a cell phone with Nordies number on speed dial. Buggered if I'm getting my hands all dirty.

I have mates like this, they're great because you seldom have to buy your own beer because they owe you by the time you turn up at the pub

Got mine out of the US. In my hands for about $NZ65 IIRC, but that was in 2008. Couldn't find an equivalent in NZ back then. It does come in it's own robust pouch with all feasible electrical connections and a basic pressure gauge however.

Yep, you are right there. I have some CO2 cartridges and some slime goop but touch wood, never have had to use these....
