Sooo........new Boardman Comp

__zero__

After much soul-searching and reading many, many topics, I plumped for a Boardman Comp over a Canyon Yellowstone 4.0 because I had the 10% discount voucher for Halfords.

I was out for three hours today, and everything seems fine (apart from the fact that the front derailleur is very badly adjusted).

One thing the Canyon came with was a shock pump, which I haven't had from Halfords. I've got about 25% sag on the Epicon's so that seems OK for now.

So...a few quick questions:

1. Can anyone recommend a shock pump?

2. Will I need one soon?

3.How often will the forks need serviced? Forgetting the weather, riding conditions etc. as I like to err on the side of caution. So I'll service them at the minimum interval regardless.

My last sus forks were Rockshox Quadra back in the day, so air sus is a new one on me!

TIA,

I got a shock pump off ebay. It is a non-branded job but is still going strong. It has a large display, bleed valve and was half the price of any others I have seen.

£20 one from Halfords, that's what i got. I don't know about the forks. I want to service mine but nowhere shows you how to do it.

Was it from a power seller? If so do you have a link to it? I'm in the market for one myself. Thanks!

I think the seller was 'highonbikes'. If I remember correctly it is a shop with very good feedback rating.

Cheers. Think I've bought a stem from them before.

+1 for the Halfords shock pump. Its exactly the same as my Rock Shox pump.

I also have the Halfords one. It works perfectly.

I re-did my shocks last weekend, the first time in 4-5 months. They had lost less than 10% of my favourite pressure settings.

Cheap and works perfectly, bike radar gave it a great review under a different name.

Except the Rock Shox one says Rock Shox on it which immediately makes it worth twice as much :roll:
