Better than cartridges is the appropriate Lezyne minipump with hose (they come in, I think, 3 models from 6" to 8" long, all with hoses and designed for hp, low volume, middle and lp, high volume. I use one model happily for my 571X23 mm Contis (it fits in a Jandd mini wedge) and the fat one for my huge 722X60 mm Big Apples (about 8" long so fits easily in my bar bag). I do use nice PB frame pumps (better than Zefals, IMO) on my Riv commuter and Motobecane errand bikes.
Apart from that, two tubes plus mini patch kit for each bike even though I don't ride more than 20 miles from home: goatheads, y'know.
