Good day to all - question from a new Roadie... I just got a flat on my Cannondale R700 with stock wheels - when I purchased the Bike I bought a CO2 tire inflation device. However I don't want to go through a CO2 every time the tire needs some Air. Does anyone know of a chuck I can hook up to a compressor to inflate the tire??? Currently I have an automotive chuck that works on my MTB and Car's but the Valve is a bit different.
thanks in advance.

Air? Pump!

Are you talking about air on the road, as in after a flat? Are you talking about air at home, as in a smart thing to do before each day's ride?
Perhaps I'm missing something, but why not buy a pump? A good floor pump for at home costs about $30, and even less for a frame pump attached to your bike.

Word up. Floor pump. Topeak Joe Blow Pro is great. Really no excuse for not having one. Costs less than one good tire.
