Default Tire Inflators

Wondering what everybody uses to air up your tire after a flat. Do you use CO2, or a 12v compressor or a foot pump?

I carry both! Fail Safe in case one doesn't work for whatever reason. The CO2 package is small, about the size of a deck of cards...also has a plug kit. 12V compressor was in a plastic case..pretty bulky...so I took the innards out of the case and it all fits in a ziplock bag.

Cycle Pump

Expensive but well worth the price. 12 volt continous duty motor. Will put out high pressure without straining. Very well built and compact.

I picked up a nice compact 12 volt compressor at my local Advance Auto Parts store. It cost around $12 if I remember correctly and fits nicely in one of my saddle bags. Thankfully I haven't had to use it yet but like a good Boy Scout I'm prepared...
