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

+ aliens on the Road Morph

Length of tube, foot stand, etc...
Gets up to 120 fairly easy.

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

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.
