There is no way a little pump like that can push 300 psi......right???
With my HD pump, when I get close to 40 psi each push moves about a pound on the gauge.
I'm with you. No way that pump would pump up to 300 lbs. It'd be interesting to compare that gauge to the one one the HD pump.
Manual says 40-50 for two up riding... does anyone find that to be a little high (I'm 180 lbs. and wife is 115 lbs.). I haven't tried different pressures yet, just curious what ya'll are finding with experience.
On the RK I have the shocks set at 35-40lbs. The bags are usually full and when 2 up the wife and I are at around 400# total. At 40 lbs pressure it rides smooth. I noticed it does lose a few pounds over the course of a week. I am quite happy with the investment of the HD hand pump.
