New shock pump : it's a revelation!!

[weeksy]

When using the shockwiz I have noticed over previous years that when I disconnected it I lose sometimes 5psi, sometimes 20psi, but rarely the same.

So I read some reviews on shock pumps and using a Shockwiz they said "none lose pressure when disconnecting" but arguably they can when connecting.

However this one has a secondary release mechanism

Topeak DXG XL. XL being the long version.

Tested tonight and it's correct, I lose 0psi when either connecting of even disconnecting. Which should in theory mean we can set our pressure a lot easier. Both me and the lad are getting fussier in terms of settings as we learn more, so better to have a more precise setup we can use.

I'm surprised you didn't go for the digital one.

I landed up buying a giant branded pump that looks very much the one on tweeks because it can go up to 400psi, my shock maxes out at 350 and I need most of that

As you say the double barrel thing is much better than than the usual screw thread, it's the kind of thing that we use on aircraft routinely, but then we're working with 3000psi.

I have always used the generic ones that you used to get with forks. I think I am on my last one now - so might have to invest >>>

I use the shockwiz, so whatever figure is on the pump is only relevant to it's figure for next time, we t can be 20 out, 50 out, doesn't matter as long as it's consistent to itself.

I've got that pump, glad to hear I've bought something decent!
