Fork/Floor Pump

[N2Deep]

Anybody know if such an animal exist? Looking for a new floor pump, but would also like to use it to pump up my shocks. Nobody clearly states that it will work for both. Marzocchi Air forks.

Thanks

The air volumes for each are very different. A typical floor pump would max out your shock pressure in a fraction of a stroke, the smaller volume of the shock pumps allows you to pump your forks with some control..... trying to pump your tire with the smaller volume shock pump would take a looooong time.

I don't see how any one pump will do both...at leats not very well.

You can probably use any normal floor pump as long as you have a soft enough touch. The Marzocchi forks use a lo-pressure system, so floor pumps have a sufficient pressure. But be careful, you wouldn't want to blow your seals.
