My Profile 		Hi, ive bought a boardman full suspension and i think the inflation has gone from the rear suspension, can anyone recommend a good pump or is just a bog standard one ok. also i could do with some advice on how best to set it up?
thanks

If you just bought the bike then warranty should apply. Contact the seller or your bike shop. They should set it right for you.
Halfords stock Boardman bikes so they shouuld be able to put it right no quibble.
I dont know what type of suspension you have or even what bike but the chris boardman website says to call thier local resllers. http://www.boardmanbikes.com/buy/index.html

About suspension setup: The units usually have a table on them with recommended pressure settings depending on your weight (fully geared up naturally). have a closer look.
I got my local bike shop to throw in a shock pump with my full susser but I havent used it in 3 years. what does that about my riding or my bike - moving on.
I imagine a bog standard is ok if you have to re-inflate the shocks regularly there is something wrong and a warranty trip is called for.

Good luck.
Buster.
