I agree with everyone you shouldn't rely on 3 small canisters to inflate the tyre. 3 of the small ones does about 8 psi per canister. Enough I guess to get you out of the countryside perhaps (if you've actually plugged the hole). That kit is better, because the inflating tube doubles as a small pump, but you'd pump other things with a lot more success than a tyre... unless you have all day

I've got a cigarette outlet plugged into my bike and one of these: http://www.advdesigns.com/mitipukitba.html

Tis done a lot of work that little pump... including inflating bike tyres for a whole group...

I carry some tubeless plugs, 3 or 4 CO2 cans and a small bike pump.

The last tubeless puncher I got on the road the tyre de-beaded its self so I was stuffed.

Flats on the sidecar are a piece of cake.

If you can still get them, I have a small slime brand compressor(its super small), and a plug kit from supercheap.If you use the co2 bottles, you have to change it out with air as it only lasts maybe a week before it will go flat again.

Yes, I believe that you can still get the slime compressors (seem to be popular in the states according some forums I read over there).

Some people buy the small compressors and then strip them down to the essentials (ditch the plastic housings) so they take up less space. My one is a SCA from Supercheap and has a built in torch and pressure gauge (pump can be set to desired pressure and then it inflates to that pressure automatically). I got it for around $50 though that was on sale. I've only used it to top up my pressures and it seems to do the job no worries.
