Putting more air into my fork - how?

[wiggydiggy]

Treated myself to a Genesis Mantle 20 and after a spin out on it I need to put some more air in the fork as I'm a bigger chap, and found the forks a little soft and bottomed out a couple times - the valve on the bottom looks like a good place to start.

Its a RockShox XC32 TK 29" Solo Air, and the RS site lists this as an adjustment:Solo Air: Spring Adjust: Air pressure via a single Schrader valve

Is it as simple as connecting my pump (have a JoeBlow Sport) and pumping, or do I need a special high pressure pump?

Cheers.

You need a fork pump. And it's on the top, unscrew the plastic cover.

You need a special high pressure shock pump.

Cracking cheers all, it is on top yes - the little hare/tortoise adjustment is on the bottom.

Bought this exact one today and was one of the easiest adjustments Ive had to make. I know there is a guide elsewhere on the site to setting up you your forks but for now I just went with the recomended PSI for my weight.

Much better and didnt lock the forks out as much as they are much stiffer under my weight.
