Just hand pump it. Its just as fast and a great warm up. I just don't find pumping to be a big deal , even with my 17m..

HAHA so funny... you comment about the GBP 229 pump but not about the GBP 29 baseball cap in the same page... even a bigger ripoff
(having said that, I paid a small fortune for an Ion B2 harness and it was worth every penny)

It sounds like ion is including a battery and the one on amazon doesnt. Still a pretty large markup consitering how cheaply you can get a battery

Here we go. Another pump crisis thread. We should just go ahead and throw Free Palestine, Gold Standard abandonment, and 21st century Monroe Doctrine relevancy into the mix.

Correct batteries run about 100 quid, so a bit less of a rip off!
Anyway pump it Tone, lazy ***!

I wasn't planning on buying an electric pump, I don't have the cash for such things.
I was just pointing out the rip off!
carry on, nothing to see here.
