More than likely, you’re using whatever shock pump came with your bike/shock/fork and not thinking twice about it. Until it wears out, or you lose it. At which point, it’s worth knowing there are options.
Planet Bike’s Shockmate Suspension Pump just got a refresh, now called Shockmate 2.0. It’s more compact -1.5″ shorter to be exact- so it’ll fit in your hydration pack easier, and the bleeder valve gets improved precision (read: control). It keeps the alloy construction, swivel hose and pump head and large, industrial-grade gauge. Max pressure rating is 400psi. Retail is $39.99, delivery starts in July.
