Where's what I carry and it's minimal. I can't think of anything better.
I use threaded cartridges. Expensive, I know, but 2.50$ (online) once in a while is nothing for the convenience and ease and speed. One 16g cartridge fills a tire. Fast. Easy to leave the cartridge on for short little air blasts if you have to nurse a tire home, which I've also done. Three cartridges you're covered.
On mountain bikes I always also carry a mini pump. I use the egg beaters. Seems pretty good and you can switch to a higher pressure (but less air) mode as tire gets full. It's small, light, and the best "mini" I experienced. I used to also carry this in my road bag but I seem to have lost that habit, even though it fits. I need to start remembering to bring it. I've only used the pump to help others.
Anyone else have experience with this pump: likes, dislikes?
Please tell me a better one if something's out there.
I carry in under seat bag:
1 tube
1 patch kit
Egg beaters multi-tool
CO2 inflator shown above
2-3 16g cartridges
Tire levers (depending on the tire)
2-3 zip ties
Mobile phone
5$
