I've got one of those CO2 inflator things in my seat bag. Plus, I buy the CO2 cartridges in bulk from the sports/hunting section at Walmart.

I've got these on all three bikes. Gets to 120psi with no troubles. I once pumped my wife's BMW tire with a bicycle pump; 35 pumps = one pound of air; 25 pounds to fill up the tire. Great exercise for the forearms.

Yeah I have a blackburn in my bag, don't like it at all so i'd stay away from that.
