Tyre pressure gauge!!

Post by Watty »

Anyone got recommendations for a reliable/accurate/value for money one ? Mine seems to be giving me inconsistent readings and the one on the compressor ain't the best 8O .

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

I use one of these. Far more acurate that the pencil or digi type ones. :thumbup:

i'm with mac, I use a draper. slightly over inflate the tyre, then use the button on the draper gauge to release pressure until you have the psi you want.. :thumbup:

Yeah i know what you mean, that's not really the gauge, the gauge is very accurate, it's more about getting it on and off where it all goes to pot and gives funny readings.
Are you coming to the Wales meet ? see my post.
