as long as you dont run out, or have mulitaple deflations, theay are quick and easy, ive searched for years for the, BEST hand pump, and never found it, i hate pumping my road tyres up, hard enough, after a punture. so now i use co2, bit expensive, but less sweating+ swearing!!! i carry 3 spare canisters, have fun, madferret.

My Profile 		I would agree with the mad ferret.
they are easy to use but can get expensive.
I dont use them but if I did I would carry 3 and buy them in bulk.
Have fun.
