The shock pump that came with my older Topeak To keep things simple, I went with a Sram / RockShox pump to complement my RockShox fork and shock (for no good reason except its brand It was used just after purchasing when I rebuilt the shock and forks last fall. The software was not very satisfactory in its performance back then, but it was functional enough to do the job.
I bought a new bike over the weekend and spent the evening adjusting air pressures to ensure I had the right My memory of this pump from last autumn is worse than this one. You get a more accurate reading when you connect to the shock, since the pressure from the shock continues back to the sensor Fills the tubing on the pump with rubber. If you decide to increase or decrease the pressure without knowing where you started, you may end up in trouble. Due to the flexible rubber hose, you get inaccurate readings because some of the pressure is lost as the rubber hose flexes and expands. On a pump, you can't rely on the gauge. As a result, I pumped up the rear shock to 200 PSI. I sat on the bike to check the The softening effect is too great. pump and decreased the pressure from 160 psi to 140 psi without It was pumped up to 220 psi. Added sag to the test When I reconnect the pump, I see that it is reading 190 psi. We pumped it up to 250 psi. Ensured that the sag is correct. It was perfect. I confirmed the pressure with my digital tire gauge. At 216 psi. In the same way, the front fork was damaged. I pumped it to 100 pounds per square inch. Ensured that the sag is correct. The softening effect is too great. Once the pump is connected, it is at 80 pounds per square inch. As a result, I had to pump to 120 psi to get an end reading of 85 psi on the digital gauge, despite the correct sag. Also, the pressure release valve is a pet peeve of mine. In my experience, there is no consistent position for releasing air that is guaranteed to work. A quick release of air occurs when I press in, but it stops thereafter. Despite releasing the valve, I have not turned it off. There should still be air bleeding from the wound, but there isn't. When you press it all the way in, there is no air release, even though the valve should be wide open. The release valve appears inconsistent in its function. How do you slowly bleed air to change settings when the valve is inconsistent in its function? In the past, I did not realize how useful that pressure-sensitive tape would be Topeak's pump had a rite fitting on the end. With this RockShox pump, you are able to set the pressure and back off the schrader valve before disconnecting the pump and losing all of the air pressure in the line. I will be tossing this pump into the trash and replacing it with another Topeak.
Despite the low price, this pump may not be accurate. It will certainly do the job, but I doubt it will do it well. Whenever I am riding my shock or fork, I make note of the pressure. The shock service was performed at 250 psi, and I noticed that before The pump did not inflate my shock adequately, and it was way too stiff, which made me believe that it wasn't working correctly. has happened to you several times and it doesn't just happen once.
The second issue is that about 20-30% of the time you lose the game. The air pressure boosts to 30 psi when the shock/fork is disconnected from the pump, which, in my opinion, is You will still have to adjust your sag every time you do a service because your previous pressure is probably incorrect. As I said, this pump will get the job done, but every time you do a service you need to set your sag.
It is the first time I have used it. My Rockshox recon mounts have been super easy to install. To add 50 psi, we had to pump six times. Just a bit bigger so that I don't have to use the release valve to pump up more precisely and to be able to pump up more precisely. The price difference between this pump and other brands makes it a minor inconvenience. It has every important part made of metal and only the end of the handle is made of Located at the top of the handle is the release valve, held in place with a small clamp. Once it has been used for a season, I'll let you know how it did.
I am asking for a price of There's nothing particularly wrong with it.
One of the things that I liked about the Avenir is that it uses a two-stage In this way, you can connect the hose to the pin before engaging it, then push it down in the second stage and then blow air through it. You can also remove the nozzle with zero air loss by disengaging the pin and then taking it off without removing the pin. My Avenir suddenly sprung a leak recently, so I needed to replace the Since one of my rear shocks has been slowly leaking, I've probably been using it more than usual. In spite of that, I thought I would give it a try because of the good reviews it has. There is not much to complain about- There will be a very brief loss of air, but it cannot be avoided. My tests have shown you lose about a tenth of what you lose If you pump at 15psi, you have to take that into account. This is a plain rubber hose, not like Avenir's braided hose, so I'm unsure how long it will last. In addition, the shaft is very short and narrow, so I'm having to exert myself to get this thing to work. It's still a great deal for the price, so even if I use it for a couple of years, then it will still be a great deal. I think that's not too.
The Rock Shock shocks on my 2013 Kona 26in MTB are made by Kona. Even though the reviews here have been negative, I decided to go for the name brand pump. There is a screw on this It might be better to have a lever that pops off valve instead. There are a few pounds on the connection, so you'll lose a few when you careen off. So, you may have to plan for about 5 psi loss on disconnect. You will also have to plan for about 5 psi loss in the connector's rubber portion. After a couple of tries, I was able to achieve the planned PSI after pumping up, disconnecting, and reconnecting. You will have to pump several times to build up to your desired range when you pump from 0 to 1 psi. It works for me as long as I keep them at 65-70 because I only used them for a limited amount of time and because my shocks only needed this amount of traction. It is 70 pounds per square inch. Now that I have the pump in my car, it is part of my MTB kit.
