Rockshox High Pressure Fork Shock Pump - 300 Psi

I'm pleased with the apparent quality of the materials used in the pump's construction but I've only used it 12 or so times to set up a new shock and fork before the snow hit us, ending my riding season. (Fair weather rider here - I carry a loaded down backpack and walk during the winter months or trek down our frozen river later in the winter for exercise and to keep my legs in shape). The stroke of the pump is rather short (as are all of them I believe) requiring many pumps of the handle to achieve 150psi when beginning from 0psi or even 50psi. I was also reminded of previous reviewer's comments on the less than desirable position of fine tuning pressure release button almost immediately when using the pump the first couple of times. It's right at the bottom of ... MoreI'm pleased with the apparent quality of the materials used in the pump's construction but I've only used it 12 or so times to set up a new shock and fork before the snow hit us, ending my riding season.

I was also reminded of previous reviewer's comments on the less than desirable position of fine tuning pressure release button almost immediately when using the pump the first couple of times. It's right at the bottom of the pressure gauge where one (I) naturally grab the pump with the supporting hand causing a release of immediately or within a few strokes as the pump moves in your hand. Reposition your hand, make it a habit and Whola! no more problem. Minor detail IMO. Long screw on metal fitting with a pivoting (approximately 10-12") hose that also clips to the pump handle when not in use are all nice features. The small outcropping you see on the handle at the opposite end of the pressure dial is definitely useful in ensuring agood hold of the handle is achieved. What I'm concerned about to a slight degree, and will keep an eye out for down the road, is the reported loss of pressure reading accuracy this pump has been known for. Probably the only way to combat this potential problem is to A.) really know the feel of your shock/fork pressure settings while riding or B.) having another High Pressure air gauge to double check your desired shock/fork pressure settings. Another minor, but more intrusive, problem to be on the lookout for. With only one bike in my household to maintain and no local riders (small town living) with air shock/forks, at $27.00 I thought it worth trying out for the little I'll use the pump unless I develop shock/fork air leaks - and then it's time for a rebuild I'd say.

I have availed myself of Tredz products ( bikes etc ) for a number of years during my "cycle to work" periods which I take advantage of year after year. I'm getting older so it's wise for me to stay active, hence the cycling.Tredz have been prompt in their delivery, vast in their options and stylish in their product. I have to be honest I'm a grumbling old so and so, but I can't find fault in these people. I'll quite likely be a customer for many years to come.Thank you Tredz. Pat Crane.

I bought this for my bike because the rear shock requires a high pressure rate. I really like the screw on valve attachment and the pump certainly delivers high pressure. What's best is when I remove the pump a minimal amount of air escapes- which means the amount of pressure I put in stays right around what the gauge says I put in. No complaints- well maybe one: because it's a longer shock pump, it doesn't fit in to my fanny pack.
