Recommend a shock pump

redzone

I have just bought second hand full-sus cube mtb. I need to get a shock pump for it to set up the suspension.

The forks are Manitou Minute Ltd 100s and the rear shock is a Fox float RP23.

Could anyone recommend a pump for these,and are the pump connections on all shocks the same ?

Thanks for reading and for any advice.

Cheers.

Halfords shock pump is spot on. Bikehut I think is the brand.

Not sure, but I think some forks might be on a low pressure system & shocks on a high pressure system...

Again... Look into high pressure v's low pressure

Dunno bout the Manitou forks, but the Fox will be standard Schrader connection... High pressure/low pressure? Just look up the website to see what psi should be in them...

Cycle down to your LBS and buy one: Cycleways I use this one myself on Fox forks.

Thanks for the tips lads,

I wasn't aware of the low pressure forks and high pressure shock, I've looked into this and it is the case with my bike. Thanks for that Bluefoam.

What pressure works in your forks? I'd be surprised if a normal shock pump doesn't cover the range you need! Most forks run at about 80-100psi and shocks up to about 200psi - within the range of any shock pump I've come across!
