well, my pump blew on the ride today :(
Do you have a pump you really like? Maybe one that'll get 110+psi?

Don't get a Crank Bros - mine blows off at eighty to ninety - it's nearly impossible to pump and keep it connected at high PSI.
Eventually you will want tires that will handle upwards of 140 PSI - your pump should be able to handle this. I use cylinders for group rides so that I can get moving again quickly. For my solo runs I use a Topeak Road Morph with the built in guage. It is larger than I would like but it really does a good job.

Cylinder = CO2 cartridge? What cylinders are you using? Cuz the crap I have gets me to ~90psi.

CO2 use 16oz. Also for CO2 unless you're in a rush please don't use them. They are horrible for the enviroment :(
Bike mounted pumps I've used everything from the Serfas Little Sticks, to Specialized PVO, to Zefyls (spell check me here)
I usually either lose them or break them. I've been happy with my Specialized PVO, it's LONG.. and i've abused the poop out if it. Aka Took it on a MTN bike ride and used it as a lever to break something apart... heheh
Floor pumps.. Blackburns are nice, so are some of the Wrench Force ones! :)

How is CO2 bad for the environment. I mean, CO2 = carbon dioxide, right? That's what we exhale, that's what plants need to "breathe".
Thanks for the suggestions... I wish I could carry a floor pump with me :)

If you are thinking about the Topeak get the full size one.
Enviro-Nazis's are opposed the empty cylinders. To them I sat bite my ass - I dont drink anykind of soda and seldom crack a beer so a half dozen cartridges don't bother me that much.

For frame pump MUST get Zefal HPX (http://www.zefal.com/AAA/produitFrame.php?refPage=73&languePage=an)!!! It's the best todate. It can holds up hight PSI and this pump will live a lifetime but little bit on heavier side.
I have 2 pcs which still in use todate.
Lately I'm being to lazy, so I carry CO2. Get Barberi or Innovation
Look here for CO2 (http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/p.php?products=Maintenance&header=CO2+PUMPS&make=INNOVATIONS)
Good luck!
Zefal HPX is the best also works great for those dogs that just won't go away with other tricks.
