Mtb tubes are usually heavier and hold air longer.

Oh the joys of pumping up the volume. I once sat alongside a trail trying to use my Blackburn pump on my mtb tire and broke the presta valve clean off. It continued to hold air but I learned to rethink hand pumps on the trail.

Then there are those darn floor pumps that don't want to latch on correctly. Or leak air. Or don't pump easily.

I use a Specialized floor pump that automatically fits both presta and schrader valves. I also have a small air compressor to air up my tires and that's the easiest and quickest method. I use it to air up my tubeless tires when I am converting them to Stan's.
