i dont carry one ,,,probly should tho...i very rarley get flats cuz i have heavy duty tubes and kevlar liners...its so hard to take my tires off if i got a flat id probly call a cab hahaha
try the liners tho and the heavy duty tubes ,,you will probubly spend about 40 bones altogether but i was getting flats almost every other day for months and now i havent had one in like 6 months,,,they really work but they do make yr bike a little heavier

peace
thanks man ill try them out i had my tubes put it by the bike shop and i guess i must have been doing something wrong cause the have lasted a good while now (like 2 weeks but thats a while to me. i just saw the tire liners at a shop the other day i think that will be a must have investment for the riding i do
CO2 pump is the way to go, those mini crappy ones suck and it takes forever to get it to inflate. And good luck getting the crappy hand one to even come close to 100psi
question,,can the mini co2 ones get yr tires inflated up to like 120 psi ?? or is it just a temperary fix ??? just curious
i think there are diff kinds. the ones i have looked at are temp but im sure they have to have 120 ones out there. i am about to invest in a co2 pump ill let you know what i find man
i got myself a bontrager air support, hand pump, gets my tires to 120 psi in no time
how much do those run and will most bike shops have them or do i need to order it?
cost me AUD $50, and my local bike shop had it on the shelf
Lezyne Floor Drive HPG - I get 100 psi out of a pump that fits easily in a small bag, it's not limping home to a track pump pressure, it is carry on riding pressure!

Looks good two and way easier to use than a tiny hand pump...
I was bored and made this mini pump adaptor to help prevent bending my valves with the small unit.The picture explains it... looks very ropey... but it works....

Get a CO2 cartridge pump--they are cheap (got mine for $15 bucks, on sale), easy to use, small and light enough to carry in a saddle bag and yes, mine actually gets my tires to 110 psi.

That, and a pair of Ultra Gatorskins, keeps me rolling.
