ryan666 64 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 only takes 5 min to pump up an s200...and im old and fu#ked and could manage it Quote Link to post
Extremetaz 15 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The S200 has a pretty small tank, so the pump will likely be fine. Bottle is more of a luxury than a necessity for the likes of those and the HW100 - it's when you start moving on to 300cc tanks and such that the pump becomes a bit of a PITA. Quote Link to post
hugo1 31 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 pump it dont take long and u dont have to worry about paying to get it filled and services u dont need any of that with a pump Quote Link to post
barrywhite 282 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have both if I had to choose .Pump .Something may change my mind . Get a dry pack if you get pump and silicon or molykote grease for the pump Quote Link to post
AngryHan 4 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Can't afford to keep and maintain a tank. A pump does just fine for me, a good way to inject that little bit extra exercise into my day Quote Link to post
slugger8770 0 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I prefer the Stirrup pump. I say me but I have two teenage lads and they don't mind using the pump,racing to see who can get to the pressure first. They are starting to twig that they are being had but, hey... I'm the gaffer!

PLEDGEY 496 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have an s410 and a stirrup pump. I have a 4 stage FX pump , can't fault it. A pump means i don't have to mess about traveling to fill a tank. Don't be put off by horror stories about pumps being extremely hard to use.....they ain't. You would have to be as weak as piss to be finding them hard. Quote Link to post
