Best Deals for Topeak Pocket Shock DXG Fork & Shock Pump

Just got my first full-suspension mountain bike (with my first air-sprung fork), so I needed a shock pump. This one works quite well. I'm very pleased with its ease of use, construction and small size. Worked like a champ on my shock and fork. Only minor complaint is the dial numbers are a bit small and hard to see. But I realize this is a small pump and there is only so much area to work with (and my eyesight isn't what it used to be... I would still highly recommend this pump.

Honest reviews on Topeak Pocket Shock DXG Fork & Shock Pump

I ordered this pump after going for several cold temperature rides and my front suspension fork seemed to have lost its 'bounce'. Sure enough, both negative and positive chambers in my Rock Shox Reba were lower than recommended for my weight. The pump was received within a couple of days from Amazon (still don't know how they do it), was a good price, and pump quality was better than expected after reading some of the reviews. The dual locking valve attachment worked perfectly and maintained the chamber pressure at the exact level that I set it at. I kept tweaking the pressure after 4 or 5 test rides and the pressure was exactly where previously set each time. The air release button also came in very handy. Bottom line, highly recommended for keeping your MTB ride behaving properly on the trails.

UPDATE: Pump still deserves 5 stars after using if for several months. Pump is small enough to fit in hydration pack and I was able to use it to fine tune both front and rear shocks on my wife's new MTB bike on her first few rides. The pump also made a trip out to Moab and came in VERY handy on the trails to stop some of our bikes from bottoming out.

This pump has a nifty system for attaching to a schrader valve. There's an outer sleeve that contains the seal, you screw this on first. Then you screw in an inner plunger by turning a knurled ring behind the first sleeve, this breaks the seal of the schrader valve.

Removing the pump from the valve is the reverse procedure, first retracting the plunger, then releasing the seal. The beauty of this system is that you don't lose any air from the shock as you are unscrewing the pump.

The failing is that because the outer sleeve and inner plunger have to seal to each other, and to the hose between them and the pump body, the inner plunger is REALLY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I'm talking painful, frustrating, sweating, tiring, try the other hand hard to turn. I dread using this pump.

(And before you say "Well, just thread them on together...." you must still turn the inner plunger part to break the seal, so this approach is no easier.)

Follow-up:

I wrote to Topeak technical support and they exchanged the pump for me. I did have to pay to ship the original back to them, but the replacement pump is much easier to thread onto the shock valves.
