Fork air pump & brake bleed kit

bruce225

HI

Going to pick up my Boardman team and wondering do I need to buy a Fork Air pump and a brake bleed kit.

Will I use them regularly enough that I should purchase them or am I best just nipping to the cycle shop when I need them adjusting.

Basic trail riding no heavy stuff..

Thanks

You need a shock pump.
You don't need a bleed kit until you need to bleed the brakes, which shouldn't be soon, and may be never.

Look on ebay for a 'shock pump' they are all much of a muchness (except the mini versions with no gauge) so just buy the first one ending at a sensible price (circa £15 delivered seems to be about the going rate).

Got lots of vouchers to spend in Halfords

So will this do the job around £20 seems to have good reviews..

Yup, it's the one my daughter has (25% staff discount!) and it works just fine.

It will work fine - probably a Beto rebranded, I have an identical one that came with some Magura forks badged Magura.
