Additionally, we compared the pressure read-out a number of times on each pump to that of our verified gauge.

Built as the smaller and travel-friendly sibling to Birzman’s Zacoo Salut, the Macht shares similar features.

1. There’s not much originality in a pump

A special zero-loss head is easily used, and the countersunk bleed valve is there to avoid accidental use. If you’ve ever used a low-quality pump, you know how unpleasant the experience can be. You may feel like the pump could break at any moment. There is a very non-linear relationship between accuracy, precision and cost,” he explains. “Accuracy and precision are different. This is always a personal adjustment”, says Cancellier, “dependent on your air pressure — rebound is trying to control the force of the air spring returning to full extension.”

In any event, I have the exact same pump and can confirm that it does not behave as the OP has described.I genuinely enjoy reviewing and comparing products and helping people orient themselves in cycling.

Also, some riders prefer a slightly faster fork while others a slower one. Whichever you prefer, you should aim to have the fork returning in a controlled manner that isn’t so fast as to return violently, or excessively slow.” CyclistsHub is supported by its readers.

RCT3 models offer low-speed compression adjustment, but only in the open setting 3. Low speed compression
