Just got a set of these, never tried retracts before. How do I pressurise them?
All suggestions eagerly appreciated!

Do you also have the reservoir, control valve, fill valve and plumbing between these?
If yes, and everything correctly connected, just pump some pressure into the resrvoir. A bicycle pump will do. Here (http://www.robart.com/install.aspx) you can find instructions for some typical installations.

Thanks for that! I have everything included, all pipes, valsves, reservoir, one-way fill valve etc, but I was unsure what to use to get the air in. It is very tiny (sub 40 grams!), so even a basketball filling needle is going to be a squeeze into the fill pipe.

Oh well, off to the sports store :)
