Shock pump recommendationsmojo2367

I have a Noleen Mega air and just got an old XC600 zoke. I've been using my floor pump on the noleen but I guess I'll break down and get a shock pump. Can someone recommend a good `all round' pump
Get a Marzocchi pump...Metroid

I remember I was putting about 55 psi in my MegaAir so you'll need a low pressure pump. The Marzocchi shock pump has a 0-100 psi gauge and can be found for $25 shipped at Speedgoat.

... from what I've seen. The main difference is the pressure gauge. Mine had the Manitou label on it but looks just like all the rest. It had a 300# max pressure gauge on it though which was useless for my fork (Marathon is very sensitive). I found a 160# pressure gauge to replace the one that was on there for $8 (Harbor Freight). It is far easier to read than the old one and now I can use this single pump for both shocks (Marathon and Fox Float). Perhaps if you shop around a bit you can find a pump with a useful gauge right from the start. If not, they are pretty much standard, cheap, and easy to replace.
