Man, I probably lost 100 hours of my life to flat tires and not having
a pump to fix them when stranded at night.

So, I want to buy a pump. Anyone got good suggestions on a model/brand
that works and actually fills the tires (both schroeder and presta) to
their suggest PSI?

Got one of these. Good little pump and comes in a seat bag. Called the
bikers dream and will fit schraeder and presta valves.

Depends on the suggested PSI.

For my MTB tires (35-40 PSI), I use a Mt. Zefal Mini-DoubleShot. Looks kind of
cheesey, but it's really light in weight, costs twenty bucks, fills the tires as
fast or faster than any other mini, and has filled quite a few tires over the
past five years and shows no signs of failing. Accommodates Shraeder/Presta by
reversing a little rubber bushing.

For slicks (80-90 PSI) I got CrandBrothers' mini pump. Doesn't have a model
name on it, but it's alu, has a double head for both types of valve, has a gauge
built in, and has two settings: one for high volume/low pressure and another for
lower volume/high pressure. It's about the same length as the Zefal, but
thicker and a little heavier. It also costs more. I think I paid about $25 on
sale.

I use CO2 on the trail, will fill a tire in seconds, and a floor pump at
home.
But then, since I went tubless the only use for it on trail is with other
riders tube tires.

I have the microflate, and it seems to work perfectly.

All those are great but one thing most forget is a pump needs to be
strapped to the frame right or you may lose it. Or you can store it in
a pack.

Road Morph has a foldout handle, a fold out foot thing, does both valves,
fit's in a MULE.
Even has a gauge by the nozzle.

Any preferred Co2 styles/brand names that are good and bad?

What should I avoid, and which one is good to buy?

Thanks.

CO2 is good for the quick fix, but then you always have to pump it up
the next day with a regular pump. I don't know the science involved but
for some reason the CO2 seems to dissipate. I just use it for GRS since
it's a lot smaller to carry than a pump.

Maybe you could teach him not to crosspost.
But then again, it might be too complicated.

That's because the CO2 is heavier than air, so it pools in the bottom
of the tire overnight. Just give the tire a good shake to mix it back
in, and you're fine.

Don't EVER do this with a Slimed tire, however.

hehehe pretty funny.

I use the Topeak Harpoon Masterblaster Frame mount pump, and it'll get up to
just under 40# pretty quick.
