100% Andrew. I rarely flat, but I do a great deal of preventative effort to
avoid this…always check my pressure before rides, top off my sealant every
every couple of months, and keep my bike clean to be able to inspect for any
iffy wear spots. I do carry a CO2 cartridge inflator for sub 2 hour rides when
I am not carrying a full pack, but I cannot remember the last time I used it.
Instead my go to has been a Topeak Mountain Morph pump. I bought this thing
years ago and it remains in my pack. It works ridiculously well and I have yet
to reach for a CO2 cartridge since I bought it. Furthermore, my friends always
want to borrow it when they flat. Maybe I'll get the mini one at some point,
but the one I have is tough to beat.
