Not sure who this is for.

My rear shock is 200psi and my fork is less than 100psi. It's literally impossible to be accurate more than +/- 15-20 psi with this thing. The caliber reaches 360 and is about 1 inch in diameter. Why? And it's SMALL, it all fits in the palm of your hand or in your pocket. works great for whatever shock you have that requires 360psi. I wish it had a much more accurate sensor.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Small Change

The two-stage valve head makes this pump one of the best.

Two-stage valve head ensures minimal pressure loss when adjusting the spring pressure of your mountain bike. This is extremely important for shock absorbers with low volume air chambers. The sensor is not the most accurate. However, it is very consistent and repeatable. Check your pressure with a good quality manometer and take note of the appropriate readings you need. I recommend this pump to all my mountain bike friends.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great little percussion pump.

I have been using this pump for 5 months now. All in all, this was a great little shock pump. Easy to use and the double locking helps prevent minimal escape of air after setting the pressure. For the price you can't beat it. I use this at least 3 times a week to check and adjust the pressure in my fork and rear shock and have had no problems. This is the same pump that my LBS uses and recommends to all my clients. If you are looking for a basic analog pump then this is it.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • there are problems

Not fun to use! on Sports

So this is my first shock pump when I ventured into the world of off-road mountain biking. This won the comparison I found online, but if this is the best portable shock pump out there I can't imagine how bad the others are. It works, but it's not fun to use, it takes a lot of hits to move the needle a little. I can't compare myself to others, maybe my technique is wrong, but it didn't meet my expectations. Also, you lose valuable print by wasting all your efforts to remove it. If it's okayโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Minor issues

By far the worst of the 4 pumps I've had

I ordered these because I needed a 340psi shock pump for my rear shock. It's a lot less efficient than the other two pumps I've had (although both are only rated for 300) but the kicker came after 10 minutes of pumping when this pump released all the pressure for no reason when I hit 330. 10 minutes later it happened. it again as soon as I had it above 330 again. On the third try, now 30 minutes later, I tried to just stop at 330, but due to the design of the pump, it releases so much air noโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Doesn't fit all
