[QUOTE="CIER, post: 535320, member: 16403"] The water vapor in the air will cause the pressure to vary greatly with as the shock heats up. That is why race car drivers use nitrogen in their tires. The other problem is that oxygen under pressure, mixed with air is very explosive. Sure the bladder would have to rip to mix the air and oil, and the air is only 20% oxygen, but you never know. I have a small (1' long) nitrogen tank. When I need to refill a shock I pull the oxygen regulator off of my torch, put on the nitrogen tank, attach a air chuck and crank it up to the max. (150psi). 1 little tank of nitrogen is enough to refill about a billion shocks. Jim [/QUOTE]
