Reddit mentions of Genuine Innovations G2628 Ultraflate Plus Tire Inflator

I bought this thing after I had a similar experience to you. I've only had to use it a couple times in the year or so since, but it works well.

1. My 24th birthday is tomorrow and I'd love a Bell Super 3R Mips Large in Red/Marsala/Black to match my beloved 2016 Giant Trance 2.
   
   
2. I have the Camelbak MULE, but are the Osprey Raptor packs that much better? I like the compartment configuration of the Osprey as well as the ventilation on the back. You guys like your Ospreys or sware by your Camelbaks?
   
   
3. Yet again, my previous L pair of Fox Dirtpaw gloves were a bit snug and the finger threads stitching was coming undone after a season of riding. I opted for the XL on the newest design, fits my fingers much better, and hugs around my wrist comfortably. IMHO, Fox always under sizes their stuff.
   
   
4. Replaced my plastic co2 inflator for this and I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon, but on my last ride that plastic one was the least user-friendly POS ever. I trust this metal one with actual thread screws to be much more reliable.

  If you're looking to up your riding game, everything listed above will save you from any trouble you have on the road. Cycling computer is always neat to have too!
  
  Cygolite Metro 400 and the Hotshot are brilliant. The lights definitely pack a strong punch. I'll tell you right now, unless the lighting in your town sucks ass or you go off road riding, the metro 400 is a great light and you don't really need to go much higher than that.
  

CO2 aren't pumps, they're inflators.

This one take non threaded cartridges, which you can buy in bulk a lot cheaper than threaded

I buy bulk cartridges for less than 50 cents each. My bike shop sells them $2 each.

Tube

Levers

Frame pump (or alternatively CO2 inflator)

Patch kit (optional)

Saddle bag

I picked up an Ultraflate Plus recently from my LBS. It's got a trigger lock, can use threaded and non-threaded CO2 cartridges and fits both Presta and Schrader valves. Haven't had to use it just yet but seems solid.

I have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RYBGAC/

and the suggested CO2 carts. You can get them for a dollar apiece in larger lots. I think just one charger will get a tire from almost flat to useable, but it would take two or three to fill it up all the way.

Another option is https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Innovations-G2628-Ultraflate-Inflator/dp/B002AGI1QW/

Its a little larger, but it's slightly cheaper and you can fill your tires with whipits in a pinch

I've used this saddle bag for 6 years now. It fits a spare tube, CO2 canister and pump, patch kit, levers, and multitool--that stays on my bike at all times--and can fit my phone, ID, and keys on long rides. I have no complaints about it at all. If you're set on carrying two tubes though, it might be a little small (though I think a single spare plus a patch kit does the job just fine).

This is the CO2 pump I've used for a little over a year now (I used a hand pump before that). It works great. As far as bulk CO2 canisters, I wouldn't really worry about it. They're like $2 or $3 from any bike shop or REI, and how often do you really get a flat? You'll probably only use one, maybe two, in a year.

I buy this one

These are popular and work pretty well

here's a list of stuff i have and use frequently that i feel others would probably appreciate: airzound air horn, one of these two mounts, multi-tool, CO2 tire inflator, there's no such thing as too many patch kits, bikeglow safety light, PDW danger zone tail light, lezyne micro floor pump, louis garneau super prestige cold weather gloves

I use one of these when I'm ambulatory. It doesn't hold much, but it gets the job done if I can't reach the spot with our compressor.

Otherwise, it might save you some money to get a HPA tank, regulator and air nozzle.
