I was thinking about it. I've debated getting one of the combo tire/shock pumps, but I've not heard good things about them.
I thought you had the Propshock pump that can be used as a replacement strut in place of a dead shock? I thought that sounded cool.

I just bought a wrench-force brand pump works nice, feels durable and the gauge is removable too.  Couldn't tell you the weight though. |

I've been waiting 2 years for a good combo suspension/tire pump. Seems like a good idea to me. Anyone found a good one yet?

Yep, a combo would be ideal.

My arms don't usually take the shrader fitting...oh you guys have squishy stuff. Just kidding.
I usually took the shock pump that came with my reba if I wanted one along but those new Lysene? ones looked interesting. Can they do both?

I have a Lezyne (I don't know how to spell it either!). It doesn't work on a shock. Sweet pump though. Best on the market IMHO.

I've always carried a shock pump. Only been bikepacking once, but will still carry the pump. I've got the one you are/were thinking of upgrading to, I like it. The schrader fitting Topeak uses is great. It's a small pump, but it works well. Monte |

I needed a new tire pump and saw the combo style but it seamed heavier then two single use pumps combined and looked a little cheesy to boot.

I just found an old Fox shock pump at a secondhand gear shop and it is, by far, the best shock pump I've used. AL, not plastic, just a light and one hell of a lot more durable. Braided hose, too, rather than rubber.
Very nice.

Other than dialing in a new suspension component (all three that I've ever owned), I've never carried a shock pump on a ride.
