shock pump

Iv decided that im going to get a DT swiss SSD 210 L rear shock. I am wondering if I needed to get a shock pump or if I could just use a regular bike pump.



thanks for the help!

you will need a shock pump. Rocky Mountain makes a good one, cheap even.

Might come with one, check that.

I dunno, I was expecting to have to have to get a shock pump but when I bought my SC Superlite, the Fox Float R came with one already, surprised me anyway, not sure if that is policy of Fox, the LBS I bought it from, or just rare, but I thought it was nice.

Yep, new complete bikes usually come with a shock pump as part of the "package" unless of course the LBS is removing them and selling them on eBay! j/k!
