I keep stuff like an emergency poncho, baseball cap, stuffable backpack, etc in a little sing-sided swingarm sidebag.

Because it's little, I needed a small inflator in case I got a flat on the road. I found the AeroStitch mini compressor, claimed to be the smallest in the world, but for $53 + shipping...
I went to Harbor Freight, picked up their cheap yellow inflator for $10, bought a carabiner ($0.99), and took the shell off the compressor.
Whaddya know, same as the aerostitch, but this even has a pressure gauge too! Compressor gets hot while it runs, hence the carabiner. Stuff the whole thing in a sandwich bag to keep it relatively waterproof.
Save money, get the job done, and have fun.

p.s. my apologies in retrospect about the title. It's friday, fuhgeddaboudit.
