New bike has this shock but I can’t set up the pressure. I need a high pressure shock pump that will prevent loss from the valve when removed. Does such a thing exist?

Due to my weight the positive pressure needs to be 450psi, i.e max. When I release the pump I lose about 60psi. I can not put any more than 450psi so I’m snookered at the moment?

Any ideas?

450psi???

How much do you weigh?

According to fox tech….110kgs!!!

Does the pump really lose pressure when you disconnect it though? I thought that it was just the air inside the pump that makes the psss-noise, and that the loss in air pressure happens when you reconnect the pump.

Scott did a pump specifically for the old pull shocks they used.They went to 500psi and had a valve at the hose end.

I lose about 60PSI at that pressure.

110kg in my birthday suit.

First ride didn’t go too well with a nice tuck in / low slide over the roots.

How does that valve work? I need a push on / off to minimise loss when removing.

Screwing it off is too slow at 450psi and loses too much.

(remembers to be VERY nice to pjm84 in future)

Looks like I need one of these….. Cannondale take note. Thanks

I used to loose pressure from my shock pump, but since buying one of these I’ve not had a problem:

Admittedly I never need to go above about 200psi.
