I've had my current track for a few years and although it istill nflates well , the Gauge on it doesn't seem to work that great...the needle either seems to not move much when inflating and then it suddenly jumps up a few bar's and I'm not sure if I'm getting an accurate reading any longer so I need advice on whether to....

option 1 -buy a new track pump with a reliable pressure gauge OR
option 2 keep my track pump and buy a seperate Digital pressure gauge

looking at either -Topeak Blow Joe sport 2 pump (cheapest price online- £25)- seems to get good reviews or the Topeak smarthead digital gauge (£18 cheapest price online)

anyone got any experience of either -or is there anything better> - budget - £35 max

any thoughts welcome
cheers

    Get a pump. It would be a real pain to keep swapping from one to another whilst inflating.

    As a rule for pressure gauges, as an aside, I'd go with analogue - they're a lot less hassle
