Re: Does the Norgren Pressure Regulator show working pressure or stored pressure?

Then you have plenty of weight available to have the compressor on-board, and not have to worry about the hassle of having it off-board. (: In my experience, having it off-board is a hassle - you have one more thing to do/check between each match; you have to be extra careful about avoiding a leaky pneumatics system (I've never seen one that's 100% leak-proof); if you have delays before starting the match, the leaks add up that much more. We've used an off-board compressor in the past (when our only pneumatics was shifting), and it worked, but if you have the weight, I would recommend against it. You could always put it on, and plan that if weight becomes an issue, it's the first thing you take off.
