Shock pump in OKC area

[dewey405]

Anyone in OKC area have a shock pump I can use one time? I am planning on getting one eventually but every extra penny is getting set aside for my 9 day trip so trying for extra is only a very bad idea :yep:. I would post this is regional but it seems to get quicker responses up here at the top.

Stop by AJAX and talk to Fred in service. He's a little mad in the head, but he's a cool dude lol. If you want one of your own, stop by a bicycle shop and pick one up. Hell of a lot cheaper than getting the Kawasaki branded pump

I tried a bicycle pump on mine and it wouldn't work. I ended up going to HD and buying one of theirs. That thing is great and worth the money, IMO.

Dewey, how soon do you need it? Maybe I could head that way this coming weekend. I'm waiting on an air temp sensor to come in this week. If I get it before Saturday, I could probable head that way and meet you somewhere.

Gotta get the no loss valve with a bicycle pump. Typically only find them at bicycle shops.

This weekend could be good, depending on price I may pick one up tomorrow...I will let you know!

I got one off e-bay for $20 with shipping, Just make sure you get the dial face that is less then 150 psi otherwise it's can be hard to read.

0-60psi is the best. You don't want to put more than about 40 or so in there anyway. A difference of even a couple pounds can matter.

I have a no loss bicycle pump. I usually ride a road bike about 700-800 miles/year. I couldn't get my pump to fit on the Nomad's valves to use it. It may just be my pump that I have, I'm not sure. But, I am glad I got the HD pump. It's very easy to use.

Sounds good!

And pump up the shocks with the rear wheel off the ground.

Yeah I think I will just shell out the money, that way I can fine tune till I am happy. Thanks though Mo!

[mobandy78]

No problem, Dewey! I don't get over that way very much, but could use a good excuse to head that way. Have a safe trip!

You need to ride more. And this is coming from someone who has put all of 1600 miles on his bike this year. :D

I think he means on a bicycle though. So 7 or 8 hundred miles a year at 1 x manpower sounds fairly impressive to me... Or just plain :crazy:

Oh. Duh to me. I'd be doing well riding 7 or 8 miles a year on a bicycle. Last time I rode a bicycle, I think I hurt my man parts. Besides, I'm a big guy so me on a skinny bike looks funny.

Just bought a Progressive shock pump from dennis kirk...should be here by weekend.

[mobandy78]

You are correct Paul. I meant 700-800 on a bicycle. Nobody said Monkey was the brightest of our group. :lmao: It sometimes takes eveyone else to spell it out for him. :D Although, as you said, I'm not sure if it's impressive or :crazy: to be riding a bicycle that much. I haven't been on it much in the last month or so... 110 F with 60-70% humidity kind of keeps me off of 2 wheels, motor or no motor.
