CO2 inflator storage in EDC or BB?

I have a One up pump on my frame and EDC tool in the stem.

Purely for vanity reasons I'd like to ditch the pump and use a CO2 inflator but the oneup inflater  head will only fit in the pump or you'd need to carry it elsewhere. Is there a system where a co2 cannister and head will all fit in with the EDC or inside the BB or something, rather than those frame strapons?

Like to ride without a backpack or fanny pack and often ride with my dog so pockets are already full of leads, treats and poo bags to hang on trees...

Head tube bung? Fork Cork type thing.

Forget that, you’re already using that space.

Backpack for the dog.

These C02 heads are pretty small and could be stowed pretty much anywhere internally 😮

Cheers Stu, the oneup ones are pretty small anyway.
Next question is size of cartridge for trailside repairs, 16 oz enough for 2.5 29 er tyres from flat?

@scruff.
The Spech one is quite a bit smaller than the oneup.

I find the 16oz to be lacking to re seat and fully inflate to pressure on my 29 wheels.

ok if you can plug it fast enough and there's still some air left in the tyre.

Giant do a range, and it includes one that stores the Co2 and head in the bottom of the steerer

Giant Clutch 

The other alternative I guess are the bibs with built in pockets? Nukeproof do some that are quite comfy and have the regular 3 pocket arrangement, and two thigh pockets as well. I can get pretty much everything I need for a 2 hour ride in them

I know you said "rather than those frame strap-ons"; Do you carry a tube? I just tuck the co2 head into the folds of the tube.

To be fair it's a legacy item, as I do carry a one up pump now too.

Giant one looks interesting, possibly space will see if there's any measurements. I only carry a tube on days out not local stuff.

Just say no to bibs.

Do carry anchovies though which are also in my pump...
