I've always done the usual tape a tube to the seatpost and have a CO2 in the back pocket, or tapped to the post too.
Now being on a 29er, obviously the average 16g cannister wont cut it.
Gennuine Innovations make 2 cartriges that fit the bill:
-25g "Niner" -http://www.genuineinnovations.com/co2-refills/25-gram-co2-threaded-cartridge-display-box-of-15.html
-40g "Big Air" (propane?) - http://www.genuineinnovations.com/co2-refills/big-air-40-gram-propane-1-pack-with-hang-tab.html
I've seen the Big Air one being used by a lot of racers, both 26 and 29. I've seen Big Air's hanging off a lot of seat posts on the world cup XC level.

-Last one, on a Fisher 29er - http://www.mijnalbum.be/GroteFoto-PBPUTNXX.jpg
Anyone had any experiences with either?
Second point. I've got one 29er tube, and yeah its clearly not a race style tube - shes a beefcake, massive, reminds me of a DH tube. Anyway is it common for people to just carry lightweight 26 inch tubes with them in races and just stretch it around the rim in the case of a flat? Failing that can anyone recommend lightweight racery 29er tubes?
