5th Element Question

Will my 5th Element equiped Heckler come w/ a shock pump?

If not the Manitou shock pump should work, right?

it should come with one adn im pretty sure its all a standard size so ti will work my lbs just uses fox pumps because thats whagt they get the most adn thehy use them on every thing

It should come with one

Santa cruz supplies a shock pump with your purchase…

if u didnt get one then yuor bike shop made a mistake…

yah but the shocks that come with the fifth are terrible, just use your old one, it will work, the fifth ones are ghetto as hell and always leak a ton of air out of the chamber when u are unscrewing it, the most presure you can get with it is like 60 psi.:(

Your an idiot.

Read the 5th guide IT TOTALLY EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! Even when you unscrew the chamber the hiss you hear is the air inside the shock pump being released not the shock losing air. The pumps work fine, and I've tested mine ot the recomended 175psi with no problems.

Good to know you have used one before:rolleyes:

i have tested it, i know there should be a hiss. if you pumped it up to say, 125psi, then unscrewed it staright off. if you then checked the pressure it would only have 60 left.

a differnt pump worked. fine. there would be a hiss but it would only be the air that was still in the pumps line, maybe my pump was defective.

but tust me. the pump that came with it didnt work. for me!
