Shock Pump Recommendations?
 
So, some of you might have seen this in that other thread...

... which means that I'm going to be needing me a shock pump. On Amazon Saudi Arabia, I've seen a 300psi RockShox for SAR190; another Rockshox that could go up to 600psi is just three riyals more! There's a Zefal that's capable of 360psi for SAR175, and there's an equally capable Topeak for a whopping SAR260. There are plenty of Chinese brands around the SAR100 mark, which helps make the RockShox not look entirely unreasonable. What do you think?

I just bought one of the Rockshox 600 psi pumps from Amazon (my new mountain bike requires a little over 300 psi), seems to work great. Hope all of your kitties are doing well.

Shock pumps have some special features compared to a tire pump so you do need one. But unless you plan to really nerd out, you don't need a special one.

I bought a used Topeak shock pump from an online store, it works perfectly well, and cost only $20 or so, including shipping.

Get one that covers the range you will actually need. No need for a 600psi pump if you only run 100-200 psi in the shock.

I ended up ordering the 360psi Zefal for SAR175. Reasonably priced and well sized with seemingly decent quality. We'll see how that goes (I still need to verify if that shock can still hold air after having sat on a shelf in Illinois for so many years! If it doesn't, I'll be truly and utterly effed!)

Obviously already purchased but in case someone comes across the thread down the line. Topeak makes I think one of the finest pumps for shocks (and other pumps for tires that are also great) I was going back and forth and back and forth for a while and ended up saying I have a lot of other Topeak stuff including pumps and they are great let me try theirs and not disappointed in the least. Good in the hand easy to pump and a easy to read gauge.
