Touring tire pump/repair options
#31
#32
Well I've read this couple times. Have some co2 cartridges and plugs in my travel bag. The cartridges are old, and I been thinking maybe not the best and did I have enough to re-inflate tire. So I did some searching. Did some reading. A bit more searching and reading. And just bought a Cycle Pump set up. A bit expensive, $160 with 90° attachment, shipped. I like the small portable battery operated pumps, but have a fear of it rattling in saddlebags and not being usable when needed. This seems more robust, so I'm hoping it's money well spent!! Buy once, cry once....hope that's true here!!

I have the cartridge style in the pack I wear when out on my Ktm. I just don't like the amount of cans it takes to fill a tire. It works for the off road situation as I do not have a battery on my bike. Our street bikes have a battery so I decided to go with the electric.
$160?......I would cry too. LOL

Okay, I just checked out the Cycle Pump. A life time warranty sounds nice.

This is what I carry, I just got the regular ones and removed all the plastic covers, wrap it in a sock I take it out every once in a while and spray lube I the piston part. It’s been in my saddle bag for 15 years with a regular plug kit.
