Here is a couple videos of how I did my OBA setup. Seems to work really well. Been using it now for about 5 months without any issues.

Nice! Super simple and effective. Way better than CO2 in my opinion. I've had Co2 in the past and it kinda sucks.
I never liked the idea of CO2. Seems like it would be fine as long as you don’t have a leak or the tank is full.

BUT... what if you get a leaky locker and use up all of your gas? Or if you want to go on a trip and your tank is only whatever percentage full? You know you want to run that thing out before you pay to have it filled. So now you’re carrying two tanks.

I prefer to have a never ending Supply if 12v powered air...

Exactly why I ditched my CO2 setup. It was super unreliable and getting it filled was a pain in the ass since I had to rely on store hours to get it refilled. Plus it takes up a ton of room.
The only benefits of CO2 is it is very portable, and can air up super quickly. Other than that, I don't like it.

There is definitely few pros with the CO2 setup. For me having to go to a store every time to fill it up is a major deal breaker.

Portability and time airing up trump going to airgas to swap a bottle.
I get it though for lockers. To me it doesnt sound like a good idea to have a limited air supply on something that could leak, so on board air is the way to go. But when I'm on trails, having the ability to take my tank out and pass it around the crew like a penny hooker so everyone can air back up and haul ass is awesome.

I love my CO2 tank airing up my 37s - and the ability to pass the tank around.

I also carry my Shittybilt compressor just in case.
