I'm lucky I guess, because I get flats often and have become quite adept at repairing them. Topeak Road Morph pump gets me up to max pressure. It's the only pump I use since ever since the gauge on my floor pump quit working. I usually patch on the spot, but swapping out with a spare tube would be quicker and the punctured tube can be patched after the ride. I always carry spare tube and patch kit because sometimes you get more than one flat and sometimes the flatted tube is irreparable by patching. Pump only, no CO2. Pump can be reused, empty CO2 canister must be safely disposed of, and a new one must be purchased.

Paying for air is a violation of the principles upon which this nation was founded. Give me free air or give me death.
