David,

If you dont want to use CO2 or put in 376 pumps with the Silca to get your tire back up, you may want to try the Quicker Pro Pump...its pretty compact and fits nicely into my saddle bag and will get your tire up to 100 psi pretty quickly. My Silca pump is really only for looks and maybe could be used for whacking the occasional rabid lap dog that has gotten loose on the streets. The tire pump, I must say, I will give modern technology the edge on...... I bought it here (no relation to seller) http://www.velo-orange.com/quickerpropump.html
