Re: remote compressor

Our team did this too the entire season. We carried around a battery/pump "thing" and hooked it up to a valve which was hooked up to the two reservoirs of air. It does have its limits (you WILL have to make some sacrifices), but it worked well for us.

But at IRI, we got this new, welded "bling-bling" frame, which was (by my calculations in week 5) 2 and a half pounds lighter than the t-nut/extrusion "ghetto" frame we used earlier in the year. Then we had the weight to put the pump back on.

Moral of the story: Use a pump in combination with a welded "bling bling" frame
Moral of the story #2: Don't weld anodized aluminum "super bling bling" because it really doesn't work.
