And rightly so, Steve. Your absolutely correct. On a trailside repair, a bit of coolant will make the tire work a whole lot easer. Thanks for the tip. BTW, What are the off-roaders using for pumps now days anyway? Assuming you go through your CO2 and have to fall back on the old hand pump method, of cource. Has anyone had good luck using a cylinder pump on the thumper? Joe Nassif Santa Fe, NM A13

I couldn't get it to pump, damn thing! But I do carry a bike tire pump in addition to CO2 and patch kit. I've been real lucky with flats myself but have gotten two bikers back on the road in the last year, both times had to use both CO2 and then the bike pump. Both these guys owe me a beer and someday I will collect (their words). I think it's a Blacburn pump, about $25.

Attachments :I just bought the DUALAIR II hand pump from Dual Star, about 20 bucks. It works great. I haven't used it on the trail, but I did use it in the garage when I changed the tires on the KLX from street ds tires to dirt knobbies. Pumped up the tires very quickly. BTW, I used dishwashing detergent and water, worked great. Ed

Joe, there are a wide variety of bicycle pumps available in short sizes that are remarkably efficient. I have a Specialized, but now wish I had a Blackburn like my girlfriend has for her Mtn. bike. It is short length with a large barrel which delivers a lot of air per pump. They run about $15-20 dollars, pretty much any bike shop. I don't carry CO2 to save weight. Charles

Guys, Those that saw me at various places in Moab or passed me on the White Rim trail (me and my Avon Slipsters were going slow) must have noticed my knock-you-down yellow Conspicuity vest. Always on the lookout for See-Me items, I just ran into this on E-Bay. It's a high vis orange Shoei RF800 helmet. Click on and take a look. Bogdan
