I just got a CO2 inflator - the tiny tine one thats just a little nozzle, mainly because I don't feel that it is.... um polite? to make everyone wait on a team ride while I pump up my tire with the teeny-weeny pump I carry (Crank Bros - it acutally fits in my pocket! and works great, but it takes a while). I still carry the pump for emergencies and when time doesn't matter.
One of my team mates has a pump with built in CO2 adapter - seems like a good idea. Most of the new CO2 nozzles have a control valve so it is harder to pop a tire with them now.
