Does anyony know what shork pumps fit the above?

I've got an RST one that fits my rear RP23 no problem, but the valve seems to 'bottom out' on the threads before it engages properly on the forks????

    Any should fit - sounds like a fault with either your fork valve or your pump.

    I agree with Splasher There a standard fitting.

    Is the valve straight?

    I know its a new bike but is there anything inside around the fitting
    stopping it from threading on?

    Try and blow it out or use a narrow vacum attachment on
    your vacum cleaner.
  • the problem is, the thread on the valve on the fork is about 6-7mm long, but the thread on the pump, before the bit that opens up the valve is about 10mm, the pump works fine and when I picked the bike up, the guy in the shop adjusted the fork pressure too, so the valves fine.

    I think it just needs a pump with less thread.

    I'll get some pictures posted if I can.

    Well if you want guaranteed compatibility, get a Fox pump - they're just a generic pump with a Fox "face" on the pressure dial, but they definitely work with all Fox products.
