Gosh, CP, cut yourself some slack. It sounds like you've had a bit of a winter layover and you haven't been out much. However, I do marvel at "their" #@%!! power to weight ratio. They so blow by me too. Looks like a nice ride. Congratulations.

I use only a pump, a short Blackburn, similar to yours but a little shorter I think. I don't bother with CO2 cartridges.

I love big dogs. What a cutie.
