And there's the rub!

Personally, I won't buy anything which doesn't include a flexibly-attached valve. Road Morphs are the business but are best frame-attached.

How about CO2?

CO2 is the way forwards for road tyres

Don't be a fashion ponce, get a Specialized Airtool that has a bottle gage mounting bracket. They are that thin (about 10/12mm dia) that they all but disappear. About 80 pumps to 100psi ime. Alloy build, room in handle for a few self adhesive patches. Brilliant

+1 on the Specialized airtool. Don't co2 ones have to be topped up at a later date anyway as it leaks away
