What are you using for CO2 in Hawaii?

With the chance for multiple flats, just wanted to pick your brain on how to prepare. I assume you are riding tubeless with a tube for back-up, but it looks from the pictures you have something funky other than the standard CO2 carttridges.

Thanks for your time...

I actually used a regular Big Air cannister in Maui last year. I believe I will do that again this year.

I only use UST tires in Hawaii, sacrificing some weight for peace of mind. I also add to my rolling weight but putting Stan's latex in the tires for additional puncture protection.

Then I train my ass off to make sure I am stronger to deal with the additional ounces I have added to my bike.

I think safety is best for the Maui course!
