Years ago, when my wife first got her Tetra Pro and I still had my Carbon Frames, I thoughtfully installed a nice mini-pump on her bike. She came back from a ride one day with a purple face and veins standing out on her neck. Seems that she flatted and used the mini-pump to re-inflate her tire. Twelve gazillion strokes was entirely too much for her! So the Zephal was bought and installed. After 4 seasons of riding, the Zephal is still nicely in place.
I agree to each his/her own, but in our riding flat tires are the devils own doing and I don't want to add any further to my grief. If we're 50 miles out, I'm facing a long way back after twelve gazillion pumps.  Both my Serottas were spec'd with pump pegs.
