Pump vs cartridges (tools, tools, oh my)

[silentlysailing]

I found it terribly hard to pump a road tire to riding pressure using a typical mini pump. If you go the pump route I highly recommend the Road Morph pump.

These days I only carry C02

I have trouble with the small pumps too. I just got some cartridges recently. Until then I hadn't ever had a pump on my bike or or anything. I just hoped I wouldn't get to far away from anything or that someone could help me out. To me the cartridge seems easier at least.
