Review on πŸ”§ High Pressure Shock Pump by Fox by Shawn Jimenez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

so good. Appears to be very well made

So far, so good. Seems very well done. You may be wondering why you need this and not just use a bike pump. The answer is twofold. On the one hand because of the tight valve coupling. Someone will say it sucks air when disconnected. What they actually hear is air coming out of the pump, not a beat. Second, the nominal pressure. It is capable of reaching 300psi. The maximum value of most compressors and bicycle pumps is 150 or 160. In fact, this is sufficient for most air springs. But there are some that require high pressure. However, there is an area for improvement: 1) Just before the sleeve fully engages the valve. In other words, just before the alignment of the pump chamber and shock absorber, the clutch nut stops free rotation. Basically, to seal completely, you have to rotate the entire block. It's ok but having a bike with cables etc on the go can be uncomfortable. If this small but rather annoying problem was fixed, it would be five stars. *** My Rating Criteria *** 5 Stars: Works Exactly As Advertised, Fit/Finish Is As Expected When Buying This Type Of Product AND It Is Good Value 4 Stars: Works Exactly As Advertised, Fit/Finish Finish is as expected when purchasing this type of product. May have a small flaw 3 stars: Works generally, but I'd change a few things 2 stars: Barely works, but might be useful if you try 1 star: Useless, doesn't do what it's supposed to do and generally a waste of money
