Default Re: tire deflators

You are missing that the ARB or Currie units allow for dynamic accurate deflation and measurements to any air pressure where the stauns are pre-set. Granted 20 psi is a good all-around setting, every type of terrain and tire combination has an optimal psi that works best. You just don't get that level of adjustability with the Stauns - period.

With the ARB, I can head out on the trail and if I need to tackle something radical, I take out my ARB and adjust from 20psi down to 6-8psi. I run beadlocks, so all psi settings are an option.

Also, after airing down with the ARB usnit, I know exactly what psi I am at. With the Stauns, I am always second guessing if they got bumped and out of adjustment or someone I let use them took them off incorrectly and inadvertantly changed their settings.

The ARB/Currie unit just makes the most sense to me
