Drawback For Air Suspension

The drawback of using air-sprung suspension components is they are affected by altitude, temperature and seepage. To keep you suspension working to its full potential, frequent monitoring of the air pressure is necessary. The Magura Suspension Pump is made for keeping tabs on your fork's and shocks air pressure.

Feature:
The Magura Suspension Pump has a swiveling hose so the pump can be folded to fit into your hydration pack or jersey pocket. The pump features a micro-pressure release control, free spinning valve coupler, a high strength aluminum barrel and shaft, and printed on the barrel are suggested air pressures for a few of Magura's suspension components. But that's not all. A toggle switch near the valve coupler gives new control over when the valve coupler engages the valve stem to add air or seal the air chamber. It weights just shy of eight ounces.

DAKINE APEX PACK

Designed for the hardcore shutter or bike park rider, the Dakine Apex is a backpack/hydration pack built to last. Whether you're riding to the top, digging on trails or cruising the chairlift, the Apex is design to answer the call.

Features:
The Apex comes with a 100-ounce Flow lock reservoir, extra straps for gear and armor, and can Carry a full-face helmet. Organizer pockets will keep your keys from scratching your Blackberry, and the pack will stay snug with dual-density shoulder straps and a molded waist belt. The Apex has 1600 Cubic inches and weighs 3.1 pounds. For more information, log in the website: http://www.nsmb.com/gear/dakineapex_05_05.php

My Rating:
I found the Apex to have plenty of room for hauling tubes, energy bars, gloves, knee pads, first aid kit, and more. The Apex feels lighter than three pounds, and the waist belt does a good job of relieving pressure on the shoulders and back. The bite valve on the hydration pack worked properly and didn't leave us with a soggy jersey. This is a pretty cool backpack, plus being a quality hydration pack puts it at the head of its class.
