Mountain Bike Shock Pump?


I was wondering how the airshock pump works. Does less air in the shock mean more bouncy? Or with more air in the shock mean more bounce. Can someone help explain this to me thanks.

For most air spring shocks, the amount of air pressure in the shock determines how much the shock sags when you sit on the bike. In my experience, compression and rebound rates of the shock determine bounce, moreso than air pressure. Better shocks allow you to set the compression and rebound rates of the shock independently of the pressure in the shock.

In general, though, the more pressure in the shock, the firmer the ride. The less pressure in the shock, the softer the ride.

Hope this helps.
