Well looked like me enduro shock finally gave up after FOD last monday, lost all air when standing in the garage after pumping it back up that night. Ordered a rebuild kit and did that today, Pumped it up to 200psi and checked it 4 times since about 5pm and its now at 160psi ??

Guess I am going to be looking for a new shock? unless they lose 10 psi when you check the pressure everytime?

What are my options for the Enduro 03/04 ??

daj,iirc,every time you screw on the shock pump,it does take some pressure out of the shock to fill the hose & gauge on the pump-hence the low reading.
So pump shock up to your preferred pressure,& all should be well.
If it was me,i'd pump it up to pressure now,leave it for 24 hrs before checking it again,& if there is just a 10psi drop,then its as my 1st paragraph.
hth.

They will lose pressure when you attach a shock pump, it's what operates the gauge. If you want to check for leaks then hold it underwater and look for bubbles.
