Hi,

I have finally made my choice but went over my £500 budget, i have a Trek 6500 disc on order and should arrive in a week or so.

Does anybody know if i will receive the high pressure pump required to adjust the front Tora solo air forks? If not does anybody know how much they are or can you use a normal pump?

Cheers

    Good choice!

    I don't know if you will get them, but they are relatively cheap. Look on CRC. You can't use a tyre pump.

    I bought exactly the same bike a few weeks ago. It didnt come with a pump to adjust the shocks. Also, the shocks were barely even pressurised and were below the lowest level. I had to borrow a shock pump from a friend to make it rideable.

    If you are getting it from a shop get them to set it up depending on your weight. If not just take it into a shop and they will pump it up for a small charge.

    The pumps cost £30+, and sadly normal pumps dont work.
