Bike pumps?

Hi, we’re planning to ride the trail in a couple weeks. We’re running tubeless so we need to top off our tires every day or two. Are there bike pumps available along the trail or in the towns? If not, what do others do? We have a mini-pump and CO2 cartridges for flats, but neither is convenient for routine topoffs. Thanks!

I run tubeless all the time and have a Lezyne mini pump strapped to my down tube. I don’t find it a hassle to top off the tires when needed. Alex with Nebraska Game Fish and Parks will know about air in towns.

I also use my mini pump. I make it part of the daily routine. You might invest in a battery powered unit. I do not recall pumps en route, but I never have looked. Happy trails.

We bike all different kinds of trails in the USA and I have a Lezyne Micro Floor Drive XL Pump
It’s only about 12 inches long and fits in my Salsa Frame bag. It can be purchased on line at cambriabike.com for $66.99. (bike shops usually charge $99.00 for it)
We use it on long trips like the 440 mile Natchez Trace and it was excellent topping off our 4 inch tire fat bikes so it would work really well for the Cowboy Trail for air. We don’t leave home without it. ??????????
PS Presta and Shrader compatible

Greetings! We have one bike fix it station with a pump in Neligh by riverside park. Alternatively, there are plenty of gas stations in the towns along the trail which have air available. If you have presta valves it'd be good to carry an adapter. A frame pump or small electric one is a good idea as well. CO2 works too but is better for emergency. Enjoy your trip!
