...is what I want. My track pump guage is f'awful. Thoughts?

I'm more leaning towards value for money than 1/100000th decimal, 3G enabled with voice control.

    I have two digitals one from Halfords and one from Wilkinsons both were about £5 and are accurate to within sub 0.5psi.

    I wish I'd seen the D2 model before I bought the basic one (which is very good) but I wish it had the Air-release button option.

    Yes thats the one i have. Just stick it on the valve for a second or so it tells you whats in your tyre.

    The way i see it is even if it doesnt tell you the correct pressure ie says 35 when its really 30 play about with pressures till you find a good setting for you. At least then you can have the same every ride or change it accordingly

    Yes that's the Halfords one I have and it is pretty accurate.

    The two inline dial ones I have on my airlines I found were not very accurate.

    Hence I always use the digitals for an accurate reading.

    I bought the halfords one but can't get it to work with Presta valves. I have a presta-shrader adapter, but to no avail... any thoughts on a work-around?

    I bet the only way u cud do it then is from a bilke pump wiv one on mate. Or change your tube type

    i would think most are made for cars which hav the other valve
