Back in the day we "in the know guys" would carry a "damsel in distress device" in out tool kit. It was a SV air chuck from a floor pump with a PV valve hose clamped into the hose. Small (but not as small as the Silca that FB linked to) and effective. As all us cool guys used presta valves (on our sew ups) and all the gals used SV on their 70lbs/sq/inch 27" gum walls we used our devices any time we could get away with it. The longer one's device was the more impressive the gal got... Andy (who still carries a DIDD in his bag and won't say how long it is)
