Wow, thanks for this amazing bunch of posts ! It's great to read about everyone's preferences. I'm going to research the frame pump option.

I realise I don't know how much a cartridge fills up a tube. I doubt it gets it to the perfect psi, so can any of you tell me your experience with using them? Have you had to top off the tube with your pump or the opposite, being careful not to blow your tube up with too much air? And do you carry a gauge or just go by feel?
