I have a CO2 and not sure I like it as I never seem to get enough pressure with the 12gram cartridges (I know... use the 16gm) and I buy the cheap CO2 cartridges from a local sports store and they aren't too consistent (I had one that was empty, good thing I used it at home!). The 16gram cartridges are only available at bike shops and are pricey, but I'm willing to go that route if others recommend it.
I've also used "small" and "micro" pumps but never liked 'em because they took forever to pump.
So I'm wondering if a frame pump (a long one that goes across the length of the top tube) is the answer. Do they pump the tire significantly faster than a micro pump? Or should I just stop being a cheapo and buy the 16gram cartridges.
Thanks for the help,
