[Closed] Recommend me a shock pump!

I could do with a shock pump but have no idea about them, never had one before, just sponged off mates. Not fussed about digital or analogue. I have a vague memory of struggling with a Spesh one that lost about 20psi every time you un-screwed it, so would like to avoid that.

Price wise, however much it takes to get a decent one but not braking the bank too much.

I love my Lezyne Alloy Drive tyre pump, are their shock ones any good?

Ta!

Topeak do one with a secondary engagement that stops you losing pressure

TBH if it leaks air when you remove it, it's not a shock pump, some manufacturers make a big song about it but basic ones like the rockshox oe (which is good) and the cheapo Beto one (which is also good) do it just fine.

I like the Beto SP002AG- the one with the sort of t-shaped valve not the straight-on valve. You see it under other brand names too, Halfords own brand used to be one frinstance. One of the cheapest, and it works great, what's not to like?

I have a topeak pocket shock which seems to work.
