Go with the compressor.
I stripped everything that wasn't critical to the operation of the
compressor off of mine to save space. All that is left of mine is the
motor, pump head, hose and wires. If I need it, I'll just balance the
motor between a pair of gloves or something to keep the air intake
mostly off the ground. I've only got about a foot of hose with a screw
on chuck, and about six feet of wire with 'gator clips on them for
power. (One of these days I'll fix it up with a decent plug...)
Stripping it down saved a few ounces, but more importantly cut it's
storage volume by over one half.

I've got a question for the list. There have been numerous emails sent
about what to bring on a long distance trip, tools, gps, maps, etc.....
And the merits of using or not using a "plugged" tire. My question
kinda brings the two together, at least in my mind.
My question is about tire repair kits. I'm gonna be taking a 8 or 9 day
trip this summer and would like to bring a tire repair kit just in
case. I'd like to get some opinions on what you've used and your
impression of said kit. I'm leaning towards picking up a small 12v air
compressor rather than use the little CO2 bottles but I would like to
hear if there are any pros/cons. Thanks in advance!!!!
George
