I’m in the “both” camp, carrying a minipump and a single CO2 cartridge. I almost never use the CO2 because the pumps I have are easy to use, quick and effective, but there are times when shaving a few minutes might be nice, like when horse flies are eating you alive!
It’s also nice to have CO2 to help seat de-beaded tubeless and to give to someone in need without having to stick around while they work it out.
