RE: rear shock help
Ask around, a friend may have one you can try. NEVER use a high pressure air line on it, it will blow your shock seals out. I have never used anything but the HD air pump and have never had a problem. Couldn't hurt to try, atleast that way, by deduction, you will know.

RE: rear shock help
the first pump that I used was one that we have for basket ***** (not using the needle ofcourse LOL) went to walmart to day and got a bike pump and still not getting air through the valve. I was wondering if I need to back the fitting out a bit so the pump will go further on the valve.

I plan on running it by in the morning but you know it is when it is around midnight and all you can think about is doing something to the bike. This has become a grudge match! Oh well we will see in the morning--- thanks for the replys

RE: rear shock help
Buy the $40. HD pump and be done with it. It is made for the air shocks. It is compact and easy to carry. It has an air pressure gauge for accurate pressure readings and does not let air out upon connecting and disconnecting. You spent over $20k for your machine why **** and moan about $40.?
