What do you carry for inflating tires

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

After reading this thread and the CO2 pump thread (and attending a basic maintenance lecture at the LBS) I got a Red Zeppelin with a very tiny Blackburn airstik SL for backup. The pump, the Zeppelin, 2x16 CO2, a patch kit and tire lever all fit in a very small under seat bag. No room for a spare tube, though, so I may update that over time.

I had my eye on the Lezyne Pressure Drive CFH, but the Blackburn+Zeppelin combo is smaller and the Zeppelin comes with a valve to control CO2 flow.
