9 hours minimum response time for trailside assistance.  Longer if US Customs is slow at the border.  Best carry a tent and emergency rations with you.... ::)

Just a suggestion......You might take a look at some of the mini pumps that are available, as a more versatile option over the CO2 fillers, at least for one of your bikes.  It's amazing how good they are, and how little they weigh.  Most cost about $20.  Mine is maybe 3 or 4 oz., approx. 7" - 8" long, clips to the downtube under the bottle cage, and can get the tires rock hard in no time.  Topeak brand, but not sure which model.  I've had it for at least 5 years.  Terryl has one about half that size that fits in her saddle pouch, weighs about 3 oz.  It's never been used, and there for emergency only.  Hint:  if you get one that clips to the frame, make sure it has a dust cap over the nozzle, otherwise it will fill with grit.
