Alaric Posted April 10, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 10, 2021 Hey there everyone! So, I'm new to the RSTD and didn't do enough research before buying. I'm not sure which air pumps will work to fill the air ride. I do know don't use an air compressor. If anyone could direct me to which ones work and where to buy them, I'd be very appreciative.

luvmy40 Posted April 10, 2021 Share #2 Posted April 10, 2021 I have a Giyo Air Supply, high pressure pump. The pump works well but the gauge is not perfect. The 300psi range makes the resolution too coarse for the front shocks. https://www.amazon.com/GIYO-Pressure-Shock-Suspension-Nozzle/dp/B07DZY529X/ref=asc_df_B07DZY529X/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312111916046&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15185693200910321551&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9015433&hvtargid=pla-568443844980&psc=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaric Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted April 10, 2021 Thank you. I was looking at that one, but the high PSI had me worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let that High pressure rating fool you. it only means that it is capable of reaching that high pressure because of a smaller piston put they often do not pump as fast as a lower rated pump which will usually pump faster because the piston is a tad larger. OR Go to a bicycle specialty store and pick up a quality hand pump. Some are two stage. the 1st stage allowing for faster pumping when pressure is low and then going the second stage when pressure is higher to make for easier although slightly slower pumping. These pumps are small and compact and easy to store in your saddle bag Edited April 10, 2021 by saddlebum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvmy40 Posted April 11, 2021 Share #6 Posted April 11, 2021 Make sure you get a pump with a low(0) loss fitting. You will need it for the low pressure front shocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvmy40 Posted April 11, 2021 Share #8 Posted April 11, 2021 Thanks Squidley! I just ordered one. The Giyo pump is nice but the 300 psi gauge was a pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
