    Good luck. It will be worth it if you can figure it out. Stays clean and dry, and never in the way.

    I already have a CO2 setup - so this OBA setup - No tank, is only for when I don't have my Co2, or for emergencies, per se.

    I was only using it for my rear locker. I saw it had an extra port, and with no plans for a front locker, I figured what the hell. Wont hurt to have something to back up my Co2 setup

    How do you like it? what size tire/inflation? Was gonna pull the trigger ion the single portable kit, but then saw the IAS GB for 20% off. Thoughts?

    I would only use it when I run out of co2 - it is slow for tire inflation.

    I would go with the arb twin for tire inflation IF you were going with a compressor.

    I haven't timed a fill time on the tire with that small compressor tho.

    down side with the Co2 setups are:

    1. the gauge on there is only to calibrate your operating/output PSI. only way to determine if you are empty/full is if you weigh it.
    2. you need to take it to a place to fill it up - craft breweries do this. locations like Praxair and Airgas will NOT fill it for you - they will only do swaps.
    3. you will never have a "full tank" - co2 fills better into a tank when the tank is COLD - so unless you chunk it a tub full of ice and drive over to the shop that's gonna fill it, you will only get about 3/4 tank, sometimes less than that. the place I fill mine up lets me leave it in their freezer for an hour or two while I run errands, then they fill it.
    4. you need to get it inspected every few years or the shop that fills it for you will turn you down for an expired inspection sticker - finding a place that does this is not easy.

    I haven't filled mine since last summer because I haven't been able to find someone to renew the tank's inspection.

    I am going to try another place tomorrow, not too far from where I now work.

    If you want fast air fill ups then the tank is the way to go. I have many friends with the compressors and they work great but at the end of a long day on the trail I don't want to spend a half an hour airing up on the side of the road. That's why I'm going with an air tank

    This likely my route too. Was considering the ARB single portable- which is somewhat newer, but still costs lots. Trying not to spend cash on a twin. I like the IAS deal.
