Last week when touring Ohio, I wanted to top off my tires, Gatorskin 32's, mid week. They were down to just under 70 psi and I wanted to get them back up to 80 psi. I had mistakenly brought the wrong pump, my Lezyne Pressure drive, and I could not for the life of me, get any additional air in them and finished the 8 days of riding at the lower pressure. Got home, grabbed my Road Morph and proceeded to pump them up to 80 psi without excessive effort.

For those running wide tires at low pressures, I'm a huge fan of the OneUp Components EDC Pump and multi-tool. It's mainly designed for mountain biking, but I've found it to work well enough for touring too.
If the Lezyne pumps didn't rattle, I'd like them a lot more.

I picked up a Leyzene Road Drive cage at a huge discount from Sierra Trading Post and picked up a Leyzene pump online. I really like how the pump bracket is an integrated part of the cage and how the pump is set up to do presta or schrader. The small diameter of the pump is good for high pressure tires, but would slow down the amount of time it takes to pump up large volume tires.

A couple of weeks ago I got me a Pocket Drive. It's smaller, cheaper and more powerful than the Road Drive. Not much bigger than a fountain pen. I used it last week on a couple of flats, and was surprised how well it works.
Amazing little thing.
