Shock Pump - Recommend me one

Coolnick · June 2007

I will now be needing a shock pump following purchase today of MX Pro fork, anyone recommend me a cheap but reasonable one?

Marzocchi do a specific low pressure shock pump. Pretty sure I bought mine from CRC or Wiggle, at the time.

Wrench Force do a good shock pump.

It doesn't really matter as long as it can go low enough for you forks. IIRC Marzocchis are fairly low pressure compared to other forks.

The cheap ones usually lose a fair amount of air when you release the valve so you just need to have a play about and work out how much extra air you need to put in. I've got a crappy generic pump for the Zocchs on my spare bike and usually just chuck about 15-20 psi extra in and it seems to do okay.

No air loss with that. Great pump.

Nearly bought a Marzocci/Topeak for £25+ and am so glad I didn't as the above works perfectly for me
