pumps?

what kind of pumps do you keep in your bags? I got a flat on the way to work this morning and all I had was a trek mini-pump. Piece of crap. Any recommendations as to what I should start packing?
thanks

its not big, it fits in any standard size bag, messenger or otherwise. it also mounts to your frame if you like that.

I have a Peakini Master Blaster and it works fine...I still need to use a floor pump eventually, but it's enough to get me back on the road and it fits well in my bag or even in my jersey pocket.

+9 on the road morph. That thing could replace a floor pump if you don't ride tubulars or really high pressure clinchers.

I carry a old hurricaine pump at the bottom of my bag and a co2 inflator I found I forget to replenish my co2 supply hence the pump

get co2 inflator and extra cartridges they work very well and fast

I catch alot of sh*t for having these in my bag, but they just don't work with clips and straps.

I also love the topeka road morph. Flexible hose, built-in gauge, foot pedal, and can get to about 110 psi before it starts to suck.

Flatted this morning on the Queensboro Bridge. Patch kit, but no pump. Woops!

Stopped at Bike Heaven and bought a new tube (might as well while I am there) and the Road Morph. Great pump! (though I have only used it once)

I've got me a Blackburn something or other as well as a CO2 one as well. I buy my cartridges from Walmart as they've got them in bulk for all those air guns they sell. Definitely a lot cheaper than what they sell them for at a bikeshop. I find though that a tube filled up with my CO2 pump loses air faster than one done with a hand pump.

I carry a cheapie Serfas BS50 and have a Soma Dragonbreath floor pump at home.

Getting up around 100-120 with BS50 is a struggle sometimes, but it can always get me plenty of pressure to make it to a bike shop or back home. Most importantly, it was only $10 on sale.
