FAQs

How do I determine the correct pressure for my suspension?

Consult your bike's owner's manual or the suspension manufacturer's recommendations. Factors like rider weight and riding style will influence the optimal pressure.

Can I use this pump for my tires?

No, this pump is designed specifically for suspension shocks and forks, not tires.

What should I do if the gauge is damaged?

Contact Bontrager customer support or take the pump to a bike shop for repair or replacement.

How often should I check my suspension pressure?

Check your suspension pressure before each ride or at least every few weeks. Pressure can change over time.

How do I use the bleed valve?

With the pump attached and pressurized, carefully press the bleed valve to release small amounts of air. This allows for fine-tuning the pressure.

What type of suspension is this pump compatible with?

The Bontrager shock pump is compatible with most front forks and rear shocks used in mountain bikes and other suspension systems.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not attach securely.

Ensure the valve stem is clean and free of debris. Check the pump head for damage. Tighten the connection, but do not overtighten.

Pressure reading is inaccurate.

Check the gauge for damage. Ensure the pump is properly attached to the valve. Compare readings with another reliable gauge if available.

Air is leaking from the bleed valve.

Tighten the bleed valve. If the leak persists, the valve may need servicing.
