Pumps

[GrumpyGregry]

I did consider a CO2 inflator once, I asked in my LBS....he wasn't very constructive despite the potential for a sale. 'Yeah, they're ok but not perfect' was his kind of mildly negative answer. His cycling experience far surpasses mine so I trust his judgement.

Disc brakes... 'Yeah, they're ok but not perfect'
Brifters... 'Yeah, they're ok but not perfect'
Alloy rims... 'Yeah, they're ok but not perfect'
Multiple gears... 'Yeah, they're ok but not perfect'
Freewheels... 'Yeah, they're ok but not perfect'
Diamond frame safety cycles... 'Yeah, they're ok but not perfect'
Ordinaries... 'Yeah, they're ok but not perfect'
et cetera.

I stuck with my frame pump...quite happily I might add. Yes its uglyish on the bike....but I can't see it when I'm riding.
I once rode a quiet 2 mile ish section of road towards town once and passed about 10 newly discarded cartridges over that distance. I wonder how much that lot cost ?

Those will be laughing gas cartridges, not CO2.
