My Pocket Rocket is on my bottle cage mount with bottle cage on top. I also carry CO2. I would never go CO2 alone after runningout of cannisters and not having a manual pump.
 
Having lost a Blackburn after keeping it in my pocket, I usually put it next to my water bottle.

BUT, I'm presently looking for my warranty for the 2nd Blackburn I bought which failed me epically of recent. Henceforth, co2 only on the move and whilst the track pump is always there at home and I do pump to the correct psi for every ride, I simply can't be arsed with mini-pumps anymore. In my humble opinion, they're shoot and even working properly are far more hassle than they're worth. Far better in my opinion to be able to ride on as you were with a sky high psi, as opposed just getting home on less because you need muscles like Arnie to achieve the correct pressure with an air mini-pump.

I've had it with them, I tell you! :hello:

Jersey pocket for me. Used to use a frame mount, but had a couple incidents, one where the pump came off and nearly caused me to crash.

I have my topeak mini-morph in the bottle cage side-mount, on the left side. The mount is from an older topeak mini-pump, doesn't click in but is secure with the velcro strap under the hose.

Currently in a bag on my back, but I'm looking into getting a frame mount so it is always there, along with the inner tubes in my saddle bag.

My Blackburn mini lives in my Altura Saddle Bag (Medium Sized), i do have a bottle mount for it but prefer it to be kept out of the road grime.
 
Frame pump under top tube. Funny how when riding with others and someone has a puncture their little pumps suddenly don't seem to work that well and my long pump is very popular

. I have had mini pumps in the past with all sorts of claims made by the manufacturer but I have yet to see a tyre pumped up by one [especially a rear] to 100psi in under 20 mins and without a deal of cussing and sweating going on. Happy to be proved wrong.

In my rear pocket when I'm on the roadie, as I can't be bothered swapping the frame mount over every time I switch bikes.

Caused a fantastic pump-shaped bruise when I had a clipless moment and landed on it the other week. From now on I'll try and fall towards the pocket containing the spare inner tube.

Just CO2 for me, start the tube off by blowing into the valve, gets enough in to help, have practised a lot at home, and with the spare co2's I got from ebay, very confident with the system now.
