Air / oil forks - pump?

#1 PostAuthor: Dark Skies » Wed Jun 04, 2008 11:24 pm

Anyone know where I can get an air pump to put air into my forks? No-one seems to flog them on this side of the pond on Ebay.

Whilst I have an airline which is great for tyres, putting air into my Marazochis is a tricky business. They hold so little that you lose most of it checking the pressure , even with a digital guage :(

How about mountain bike suspension pumps? I think they run higher pressures but they may do the job, usually about a tenner

Eureka!!!

I bought a Progressive Suspension made GP3-30 pump from M&P. It was about £35 but it's money well spent. Cock-on accurate micro adjustment and ZERO leakage when unscrewing the connector hose. Wish I had one of these when I had M'zocchis on my H.
