Thx agin

Thx also gorse. Will have a peek at ur attach

Good point steve. I got 1500 kms on current chain. Never had a guideline to replace. Will have shop evaluate at 3000

I meant no disrespect. Some people have the insight and talent to do their own tweaking. Sadly, I am not one of those gifted souls.

Yep, yep and yep. I will trust my tech to do these delicate adjustments. Then I can blame him. They are pretty sticky at the shop about these things. First question: Did you mess with the derailleur? No suh, ah did no sech thang. The guys at the shop view themselves as high tech rocket...

thx gorse, will bear this in mind.

Thx sr. Sounds like good advice. I was a bit disappointed after having techs adjust deraileur with little improvement

I guess I didnt describe my actions very well. It does not jump a tooth when I am shifting. I does it when I put an amount of pressure on the crank after shifting. It does not happen every time, just occasionally. Its only slightly annoying, and a small flaw in an otherwise perfect two...

Perhaps that should be Explorer E +2

When shifting into higher gear, am finding the bike a bit balky. There is a delay before the shift occurs. Also, putting pressure on crank sometimes it "skips" a tooth. Have had it in to techs who gave it a once over adjusting here and there. Just finished a 33 Km ride and it is still doing...

Amazer 98, you are spot on. I wish I had recalled that I did exactly that with the presta/Schrader adapter on my last bike. Dont know why my bike shop did not remind me. Instead they changed the tubes. I guess nothing lost or gained. Did not cost a lot to change tubes.

I think not all. Some of them have a little clip on the end to fasten the hose while it fills. You release the clip when filled and no air comes out. I have tried 3 different pumps and they all have let most of the air escape when unscrewing. Bummer! Even my bike tech had to do mine 3 times...

Hey thx bud. Looks good and I think I will order. Amazon is so good about returning things I dont hesitate to order from them.

Thx will chek out price

I also stopped in to my cycle shop and got my forks topped up with their superior shock pump. The one I got from MEC a large sports co op was inferior and most of the air would escape when topping up, even when used by bike techs. Its goin back.

I found them to be a pure hassle when topping up tires. They were too fussy. I much prefer the straight valve cap e.g. schrader. Yes they changed the tubes.

Thx for input. Worked thru all your suggestions which I had applied. I got rid of my Schrader valves cause I have a hate relationship with them. Some shock pumps have a non return on them but this one does not. Will go to local guru at bike shop for help.

Just bought shock pump for my front air forks. When I pump air to desired level, the air disappears when I disconnect pump. What am I doing wrong.

you are right. it has that. very handy

i shud have stipulated the explorer +1 only has air front forks, no rear suspension. Origiinally I referred to my front forks as air shocks. My bad. So I am only concerned with air in my front forks. Thx for all the input. I think I have enuff info now to utilize my new pump to inflate my...
