If you are running inner tubes, it is standard practice to slightly inflate the damaged tube in order to find the location of the puncture on the tire, in order to remove the object that caused the puncture. This is more easily achieved with a pump.

@michaellovric9975 Год назад

Another option is a Fumpa, a rechargeable electric pump. Quick like a Co2. Seats tubeless tyres too. I've been using one for over a year.

@ShadLife Год назад

I generally bring just a hand pump and a Tubolito tube because of how light they are. I do run tubeless, so the tube is for backup. Most of my rides, time isn't a concern. But if I am doing an event I will bring a CO2 inflator as well as a spare tube and pump. I do wear a pack and most events I do are longer endurance ones, not shorter XC races. If I get a flat, I pretty much just deal and realize I am going to lose a lot of time during an event. I focus more on survivability and being able to finish. That being said, I do make sure my tires are in good shape and that I have fresher sealant. I always make sure I am not careless on the trail. Part of being fast is making sure your bike survives the ride. Back when I was competitive I had a couple of times where I was in front or up front only to cause my chain to come off, crash, or get a flat because I took a poor line being in a hurry. Think like an auto racer, don't over ride your equipment to failure and you will place better. So I haven't gotten a puncture in quite some time..... knock on wood....😊

@francisdee9955 Год назад

The topeak with the pressure gauge is realy good! It’s dual action so inflating a tire doesn’t take that long. I would recomend it, if someone’s looking for a small pump. Also for travelling

@prithviraj2354 Год назад

My favorite is mini pump

@allesdurchprobiert Год назад

Thanks! Learned important things from this! So I guess I'll stick to my mini pump for my needs (touring basically).

@chriscowan3815 Год назад

One up mini pump comes with a CO2 inflator built in and the canisters are stored inside the pump. Also comes with a bottle cage mount. A bit pricey but worth it 👌

@tonyclemente5815 Год назад

Plus tool kit, plugs and spare links! I have two.

@DrunkDrynasty 6 месяцев назад

I’ve gotta check that out. I just got a Lezyne Pocket Drive Pro HV. It’s incredibly light for a high volume pump (104g), it’s compact, and looks pretty badass too.

@benjamindickel3868 Год назад

Just don't leave empty CO2 cans on the trail

@Zmit Год назад

Got a Specialized mini pump that also support CO2 canisters. Best of both worlds in one package. Small enough to fin in the tool roll-out sleeve in the bottom of my Osprey Raptor 10 biking backpack.

@JoelZieve Год назад

I’m overly prepared and carry both CO2 & a mini pump now that I have a larger hydration pack. CO2 for me (speed/less effort), pump for my riding buddies or anyone I find on the trail in need.

@w5glsgary919 Год назад

just went tubeless on my XC HT...CO2 cartridges are a huge luxury on the trail.

@NallePu83 Год назад

I use Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HV Floor Pump

@chrisridesbicycles Год назад

It depends. Pump + pressure gauge most of the time. CO2 only on the XC bike. If the tire didn‘t want to seal immediately during the first mounting, I might take CO2 in addition to the pump, just in case.

@thevapingpolisher9717 Год назад

I like the fumpa pumps micro electric pump it fits in your pocket or pack

@honzaH6 Год назад

I take both

@CreativeFranky Год назад

I use the Topeak Hybridrocket, and i have all Advantages 🙂

@Philipp_MTB Год назад

Same here, works like a charm.

@ridgebackdk Год назад

co2 no good with stans sealent ... but i still carry and use co2 when required and just use air when i get back home .. its just easier when you are cold and wet out on a trail ...

@_Conrad_ Год назад

Fortunately I’ve never needed either, but one time my tire got sliced on the side wall and wasn’t even repairable. But eventually I’ll probably get a hand pump!

@shrinkingshrimp Год назад

As far as I know the tire sealants can be not compatible with the cold of co2 pumps (some sealants can freeze), not the co2 itself. And co2 slowly leaks trough the tire's material itself, thats why you have to pump it up after, not because it's not compatible with the sealant.

@dpommier 7 месяцев назад

Recently available USB electric pumps offer a 3rd way: 100 to 230g for multiple tire refill

@mattvanderwalt6220 Год назад

My first experience with a CO2 inflator was a nightmare. Punctured within the first mile of a race - heavy rain which lead to the whole nipple and valve stem being instantly incased in a block of ice and a 3/4 inflated tyre (and lost the inflator somewhere on the route). Managed to finish the race taking it slow... For most rides with friends will take a hand pump - and only on certain rides where a CO2 approach is absolutely the best option will take... The other thing for me is cost. CO2 cartridges ain't cheap compared to elbow grease - like as much as £2 a tyre - and even 'resealable' CO2 inflators seem to loose pressure fairly quickly.

@shrinkingshrimp Год назад

Well you should not use anything first time in a race. You should practice even tire inflation before, thats why it's a good idea to use even co2 sometimes on group rides. But not just co2, even if you buy a regular pump you should check out how it fits to the valve, how to hold it, etc, and of course the same goes for every piece of equipment you bring to a race.

@johnschmidt5412 Год назад

I Carry both

@cyclingslowlytoseethings Год назад

You can't beat a track pump, compared to the other necessary tools like the hammer and wrench it's quite light weight.

@jamesmincher3435 Год назад

I use a shock pump slow but works lol

@noureddineelaroussi7680 Год назад

I've been trying to use CO2 inflators since they come out, and not once have I used them successfully, they always misfire or I find myself needing to redo the process again, so I totally gave up on them once and for all!

@drNebin Год назад

The CO2 cartridge does not cause an endothermic reaction. The decreasing pressure in the canister causes a compensatory decrease in temperature. (PV=nRT) This is how your air conditioner works at home.

@DigininjaRobin Год назад

I take one canister in my seat bag and a pump on the bottle cage.

@juanhidalgo7043 8 месяцев назад

For me, it depends on the situation. For racing, I take the CO2 (always carry two canisters). For long rides, 3-4 hours, on the road, I take (2) CO2 canisters. For MTB, short rides I take (1) CO2 canister. For long MTB rides 3-4 hours I have been taking (2) CO2 canisters. If not a mini pump and a CO2 canister.

@winklertribe5268 Год назад

I just carry CO2 with me, but I’m looking for a good mini pump. Can I use a small shock pump for that purpose?

@glennmorgan8691 Год назад

A shock pump is high pressure low volume as opposed to reg pump low pressure high volume it would prob take hrs to fill a tire with a shock pump!!!

@greengonzonz Год назад

Lol, I take all three... tube, c02 and mini pump 😂

sounds great but...weighing >480g compared with a pump at

@stujm8376 Год назад

Mini pump, if I ride tubeless I take tube with me. Though so far I’ve never had to use it…😅

@tomrodgers6629 Год назад

I do not race so I still run innertubes. I will always have a mini pump, patch kit, and spare tube tucked away in my back pack.

@Velo1010 Год назад

CO2 isn’t my preferred method of inflation but I still carry one in addition to my mini pump.

@rupedog Год назад

I carry both... Once u used ur co2 u still need a method

@gregpragnell5246 Год назад

Same here, in the tropics the CO2 makes inflating the tyre so much easier but the pump is there in case you use all the CO2 canisters you are carrying.

@nicklowe536 Год назад

Hand pump i don't race so time is not an issue

@DCassidy42 Год назад

Good luck seating a 2.6 tubeless tire with a hand pump. Co2 all day.

@frugalfirehd7119 Год назад

Isn`t one draw back of CO2 is that it can`t inflate past about 20psi or have I just been buying rubbish CO2 canisters?

@ryanmichels2981 Год назад

Can it seat a tubeless? Looking to by one but cant find info regarding seating.

@radominchev920 Год назад

As a major con you did not say anything about CO2 being a green house gas, cost of production,cost to recycle if even reach to recycle depot. And let's add the cost for transporting single use product. The only use of CO2 should be done in a race! We all love where we ride, and every single one can help preserve our environment with such simple thing-don't buy CO2!

@nealwright5622 Год назад

Where do you think the CO2 in the canister came from? They didn't dig it out of the ground like oil FFS

@radominchev920 Год назад

True that most products are coming from China. But you can't do anything about that. What you can do is to look what you personally can do for that. The industry will pick up the trend. Let me ask everyone. How much tyres and old inner tubes are laying in your caves? How many plastic rapers have you trow out from a new part? Finally there is good biodegradable cleaning up products. And i have not touch on carbon. As far as i know only GG bikes are offering recyclable carbon frames. What is happening with your old cracked frame? I think that the problem about recycling and biodegradable products must be put from the riders to the industry. And I think that topic is a perfect for Gmbn tech.

@WorkLessRideMore Год назад

I hate hand pumps. Co2 is quicker, easier, and always works. Hand pumps barely work half the time.

Co2 canister - Not environmentally friendly

@AndrogyneMichinaga Год назад

Whilst you said that C02 is single use, you did not mention the environmental impact of C02 cannisters. There is an industrial process that takes up energy and resources to make them and to transport materials and end product. All for a throwaway product that might get the cannister recycled - maybe. Remember that recycle is the last of the 3 R's: Reduce, Re-use, Recycle. A hand pump is reusable and can last for years. A C02 cannister is the opposite of reducing use of energy and resources. A C02 cannister is not re-usable. As for recycling, it's a maybe.

@_Zane__ Год назад

I could say the same about cycling, cycling is an industrial process that takes up energy and resources. Have you tried walking or running?

@mancello Год назад

I always get inflated when I watch her.🤪

@michaelb9664 Год назад

Co2 is bad for the environment, both as a gas and the fact it’s a single use throwaway product. The numerous advantages of a mini pump far outweigh the only single advantage of speed of inflation from Co2. Most people are not racers where every second is precious. A reusable device which allows precise pressure to be added and uses only the air we breath to work has to be the answer for the day to day rider. A Topeak Race Rocket is very compact and can live on the bottle cage mounts without affecting the use of the bottle cage. It’s always there and always works however many times you need it.
