Hi, I have a general question.

Would it be feasible to use a shock pump to pump tires (700x24)? How long
would it take to fill a tire?

Longer than with a tire pump. Exactly how much longer depends on the
precise comparison of the two pumps. Figure at least double the time
of a tire pump, and note that they're often heavier than most of the
tire pumps that are designed to mount on the bike.

I am thinking about acquiring a shock pump for pumping tires as my current
hand pump is not very good. Namely it lacks a gauge and is hard to use
especially at high pressure. Floor and foot pumps are too bulky for my
situation.

Somebody has already mentioned the Topeak Road Morph; I've got one,
and it's both compact and effective...and it has a hose, which keeps
me from worrying about damaging those @#$%^&* Presta valves.
