What do you use to inflate tires on a ride?

I use a Topeak Road Morph, but I think the similar Lezyne is more robust construction

The reason I got the Pump I use was because I only had a CO-2 pump for the longest time and once had two flats and a slow leak on the same ride. I still had a cartridge left when I got home but realized if I had another flat I would be out of luck. I use the standard feature of the Specialized pump to get the tube started and then shoot 120 PSI of CO-2 in.

Lately, I have been using a proprietary mix of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, .9% Argon, .03% CO2, and .07% multiple gasses injected into my tires with a standard floor pump. I am telling you, it works great.

I keep my Mini-Morph in my rear trunk bag which I remove from my bike during transport and when not in use. This is an anti-theft measure. Also, I have 2 bikes, and the trunk (with pump and other essentials) goes with me on which ever bike I am riding at the time. As I get older, I try to make my riding more idiot proof. I dislike riding out a few miles before realizing that I forgot something.
