I have a road morph attached to the frame. Not aesthetically pleasing but you can get 120psi back in to finish your ride rather than a smaller one just "getting you home".

Have had some comedy "that's not a pump, THIS is a pump" moments when offering its services on group rides to someone struggling with a micro :smile:
 
Depends, roadie, back-pocket or backpack, MTB clip next to water bottle.

I stick it in the front pocket of my small rucksack I take cycling.
I normally carry a CamelBak and bike lock in it as well, I don't follow rule #32 very well... :whistle:

Rules were made to be broken, I also use a CamelBak and keep a mini Topeak in it, excellent pump for on the road use.

Exactly, providing you are comfortable I see nothing wrong with a CamelBak. I would say it is easier then carrying two water bottles, even if they are in cages.

I just got a new Bontrager Air Rush Road 2 in 1 pump, I haven't used it yet but it seems to be of good quality, and allows for both Co2 and hand pumping.
Tiny little thing, and has a nice storage system for the Co2 canisters. £24.99 from the LBS and came with two 16g canisters.

Agreed and you can do the whole operation without ever taking your eyes off the road or fiddling with some silly lid or dropping it etc. I tried Co2 but to be honest these mini pumps have got so good I couldnt see the point even in terms of weight saving its not that much.

Pump in very lightweight Decathlon rucksack, along with a few tools and a light windproof top. The whole lot usually goes in one of the panniers on my e-bike, so I can take it all out and carry it with me when shopping.

Or if i am on the mountain bike, just wear the rucksack.

Tilt the nose of your saddle upwards and get in the drops. After 40 miles you won't be able to feel your pump. Problem solved.

Specialised Air Force twin head in my pannier. It gets used start of every ride to fill my Airzound. S'pose I could use my track pump instead .....................
