Yeah it doesn't work as well mate

Something to do with the weight of nitro as opposed to air for memory

Old mate Stoozo used to think you could. hahahahahaha

Maybe your loval tire shop, who fills car tires with nitrogen can help you. If you recharge the shock you should replace the oil too. I use atf vi for my rear shocks, because the rrar shock oil gels up in -30C .

Man there was just no telling that invalid.


Here's a simple explanation,
Whilst compressed air "is" mostly Nitrogen, the small % that is oxygen will cause havoc in your reservoir. Oxygen doesn't compress as well as nitrogen and expands when it's heated (thus why aeroplane tyres are filled with Nitrogen) , if that's not bad enough the moisture in oxygen will eventually destroy the rubber seals.
