Cornerz Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I have one like this. It has a detachable pressure gauge and converter so it can be used on presta, schrader and shocks. It is a giant one, was about R450 when I bought last year. Edit: the smaller sleeve that comes out first is a low pressure one for using on shocks then the second bigger telescoping one is used when pumping wheels. No Ways! Only took me 4 weeks to discover that the pressure gauge detaches - but did wonder why you'd want to carry a shock pump with you on a ride! Raydek 1
scotty Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Does anybody still use a pump? I guess I just got lazy, I only carry bombs.Yup, i carry bombs and pump, bombs for when i'm in a race and need to inflate asap, pump for training rides, why waste a bomb when the air comes free.

backtrail Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I carry both, bombs and a mini pump. Bombs only for emergency ,pump rest of the time.

Carrying a shock pump is essential when getting your settings dialled in properly, especially on longer-travel bikes with a million adjustments. Changes to high and low speed compression often require subtle pressure tweaks that you won't get right in the parking lot.
LongDonkey Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 I have one too. Shock and tyre pump in one. Linden Cycles has it.Awesome Will go check there this weekend. Think the gauge can go bye bye.for races. Also you can only carry so many bombs and then you run out. PS CLOSE THE OUTLET VALVE ON THE BOMB ADAPTER BEFORE SCREWING THE BOMB IN. Use it dont use it..... Only made that mistake 3 times and counting..... Raydek 1
arendoog Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Does anybody still use a pump? I guess I just got lazy, I only carry bombs.I carry both .Bomb,s work well for mtb tyre but on a road tube you can easily overinflate and burst your only spare tube like i did recently .The regulater gets worn and sometimes the thread on the cartrige is so banged up from saddlebag abuse that it does not screw into the regulator Edited July 4, 2014 by Blitzer
