Do you need a special shock pump to pump it up or can you just use a standard schrader valve pump

I use my portable pump because a only need up to 100lb but is better and easier use a high pressure pump with gauge

You can use the normal bicycle pump that you would use for any normal bike or for inflating balls, etc. The only other type of pump that I've seen are the pumps for racing bikes which are made for skinny stems - you don't need one of those.

Yes, cars and motorcycles, using the schrader side; BUT, it'll be like using a spatula to shovel snow. This Sport II model is great for standard or many special bikes, such as electrics. If you need an especially heavy duty BICYCLE pump, perhaps for fat or tubeless tires, you'll want to search for and consider a Stage 2 or Stage 3 pump such as the Topeak Transformer XX or Joe Blow Ace: each retails for $150. The latter are still not for cars.

You do not need a special adapter. Pretty much, it is a hole about the size of a 50 cent piece that has several small holes in it. There is a diaphram under the hole to keep air from getting out once you blow it in. I use a regular air blower that hooks to my air compressor.

I used a small car pump. I think you can do it without it, but it will take a lot longer.

Any bike pump that fits a Schrader valve (the thicker valve size that is also found on all regular car tires) will do the job.

I assume you mean presta valves vs. schrader valves (shrader=standard car tire valve). It adapts to both - the head unscrews and you can flip the bits inside to make it compatible with either valve type.

Yes! I was confused about this too because of the packaging but yes you can use a regular old hand bike pump. It comes with the attachment that you need.

Yes you can use any air pump. The shocks come with some small air line and a standard air fitting (like the air fitting on a car tire). So they can be filled or drained just as you would on a car or bicycle tire. Whatever air source you choose to fill them does not have to remain connected. It is mearly used to inflate the shocks up to a desired pressure.

I have bikes with both schrader and presta valves. I just have to flip the air valve and it has been working fine. It is a mini pump and using it to fill a full inner tube is a lot of work. But in a pinch, it has been great.

Schrader valves are used for pressure testing, so yes, this will work. Just be sure to bleed off pressure before re-testing.

It does not, you would need a schrader to presta valve adapter for the pump to clamp onto. It is available for under two dollars.

a circulation pump is just that, circulation. if you want air, yes you would need a different pump.

Here's one that should work from - where other than Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/Bike-Inner-Tube-Schrader-Valve/dp/B00AWU5SZK I've not tried it myself, but others report it works. You could also go for a smaller diameter tube (i.e. 26x2.7") which would balloon out to fill the volume, but in my opinion you would lose a little durability/longevity doing that since the rubber would always be under a fair amount of stress. Good luck!!!

Schrader is built onto the hose. It does not have a presta adapter. Do a web search to determine which type of valve your bike tire or tube uses. You can get schrader to presta adapters at local bike shops for about $2, or here on Amazon.

It comes with a special air pump and there is a an attachment at the rear end where this adapts and you just pump it up not too much.

Yes it does come with an adapter for schrader valves, though topeaks instructions on how to set it up stink. I located a video on their website which clarifies greatly. Why they can't manage to print a picture on the box describing the process sensibly is beyond me. It is a good pump and a good value, unlike their bags which are cheaply made and all topeak products seem to come with terrible customer service.
