Cute, but I think those heels would lead to more flats.

On the "other" board, they've been talking about a mini pump by Crank Bros., or the Topek Road Morph. Also CO2 cartridges in conjunction with a mini pump.

Hey V - yep heard lots of good things about the Road Morph also Barbieri Carb One Mini Pump. Blackburn also makes a frame pump thats pretty light (sorry cant remember its name).
Good luck with the pump hunt and let us know what you end up with.The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The frame pump I have and works well is Blackburn Airstick One:

Topeak Road Morph
Love love love my Topeak Road Morph.

It turns into a floor pump with a foot thing and a gauge, so you can push into the ground instead of hanging on to the pump and trying to use only upper body strength to fill the tire. I'm somewhat of an expert at fixing flats on the road, since I've had at least a dozen this season. I can fill a tire to 100 lb with the Road Morph, and I was lucky to get 50 with my other pumps. Also helps avoid breaking off valve stems, since it's got a flexible tube that connects to the valve.
