L'Eroica 2011

So what pump to take?

Do you have to deflate the tyres on planes?

Naturally I'll need a vintage frame pump for the ride, but I'll need something to get a decent pressure beforehand, are there any hand-pumps which supply decent pressures? Or should I take some CO2 canisters (are you allowed those on planes?!)

deflating the tyres before transporting your bike on the plane is not necessary. I suspect there will be an opportunity to pressure up before the ride, but the eroica veterans should be able to make that a definite yes (or no)...
