Review on 🚲 Venzo Bike Bicycle High Pressure Shock Pump 300 PSI Max Fork & Rear Air Suspension with Digital Gauge - Enhance Your MTB Experience! by Tony Ledbetter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does the job, could be better

The pump could be better for the price but is fairly light, mainly plastic with some metal parts. My main issue with this pump is the hose and cartridge that bolts onto the shock. First, when you screw the head to the shock/fork, the part is really small and you really have to screw it in. Slightly more expensive I could have bought a Fox branded pump, although they may seem similar they have a longer nozzle which I think will alleviate my problems with this pump. The pump turns on automatically when pressure is detected, so of course I stopped. twisted the cartridge and started pumping, but at the same time the numbers increased by about 10-15 per pump, and it seemed that pumping required a lot of power. I went for a walk and had the feeling that everything wasn't set right yet. Went back to checking with the shock pump, automatically turns on again when pressure is sensed, found I had about 50-75psi less than I initially thought. Screw the chuck a few more turns until the thread stops and I get the correct pressure reading and bleeding becomes much, much easier. The only thing is that when screwing the chuck in those extra few turns, the tubing starts to twist at the body attachment point, causing me to have to turn the entire pump to properly engage the shock/fork. It's a bit annoying. It would be great if there was an additional pivot point on the pump body next to the cartridge to attach the hose to, that would solve my problem with this pump.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
