Do I need a low pressure shock pump to set them up, or will my high pressure pump be ok?
Low pressure. I had some. max about 30PSI I think. Very sensitive to pressure so definitely a low pressure pump if you can get one. I ended up running mine with bugger all in the air chamber as it seemed to lock them out, and do odd things to the damping.
Great forks tho. Completely bombproof.
Grrr another £30 I didnt want to spend....
Maybe I will go and be nice to my LBS.
I would. Set them up once and leave them...
I use a high pressure pump as it's too expensive to buy a second one but once they're set up they don't get messed with. Get a decent gauge though.
If you cant get them set up with a high pressure pump take the spring out and ramp the pressure right up, that works really well.
i had a drop off 3 and it was excellent, weighty but very plush. as mentioned above, i ended up running them with no air as even with my massive hulk i couldnt get them to sag at all!!
You'll get by with a high pressure pump.
