Hello all, as per other (locked) thread where I was asked to report on the pump, I am happy to say that the little Topeak hand pump works wonders on my 80's Fox Monoshock. Easily got to 240 psi. Of course it only pumps in air (70% nitrogen only plus oxygen and some water, but lets not get into another gaseous debate).
Thank you for the advice, job done.
Cheers,
E
