Just back from a ride on which I flatted :-\ 700 x 35 tires take quite a while to pump with a li'l Zefal, but the CO2 put me to about 75lbs in a matter of about a second. Nice! Not much reason not to carry a couple of cartridges (some recommend a backup pump, too). Don't forget not to leave cartridges on the roadside!

They've saved me from a walk home on a couple of occasions. I hate carrying a big pump on a stripped-down racer, and they're a liability on an MTB used in muddy conditions - they either fall off or get ruined by the mud and water. One job CO2 isn't good for is inflating big MTB slicks (the 1.5" 90psi type). There's not enough gas in one cartridge. They're OK for 40psi MTB knobblies or 120psi narrow road bike tyres.
