you should use nitrogen (so I've been told) - a lot of people use oxy from an air line, but Nitrogen is much more stable under extremes of temperature and you'll find that your rear shock doesn't go off as quickly !

Nitrogen is the prefered gas, many advantages to it. All aircraft use nitrogen for struts, accumulators etc, for tyres as well. You just have to have a supply.
Straight oxygen should not be used, and never ever ever mixed with oil. It combusts.

Thanks Jasper, thought it might have been as I've never touched it.
