Frame Mount Pump

[bjsullivan1]

Can someone recommend a good pump. I havent' had a flat in years and never carried a repair kit/spare tube or pump. My luck has run out and I have had 2 flats in the last 3 months. Any recommendations on what to carry?

Thanks

A while back I got a deal on 2 blackburn pumps. I put one on my bike and one on my son's bike. They work great.

I have this thing called... get this.... a Pocket Rocket!!

No, it's not anything dirty. It's a bike pump. Very small and EZ to carry in my camelback. I think this is it:

Thanks for all the responses. Those links were helpful, I was hoping to find something nice and small to put in the camelback

You'll get a workout with that rocket, but it's better than walking out.

How about a CO2 inflator ?

Oh yeah, I also carry a CO2 inflator. Use the hand pump to make the tube round and aid in mounting the tire, then blast the CO2 to fill the tire.

I too have a C02 inflator. These dual mechanism pumps are nice, as you could, if you have a spare 15 minutes, fill up a tire even without a full C02 cartridge.

Although unless you're a real weight weenie or tremendously short on space, a regular sized hand pump isn't really that big. And you don't have to worry about losing a couple bucks every time you blow a tire. Not that I'm cheap, or anything.
