Pressure Gauge?
Gamblor
Posts: 84
Just bought a Lezyne Tech Drive HV Mini Pump but realised I'm going to need a pressure gauge to make sure I'm pumping to the right PSI.
In hindsight I should have got a pump with a built in pressure gauge, but there you go.
I'm wanting to spend as little as possible on a stand alone gauge, as funds are pretty tight and I've already spent more than I would have liked in the last few weeks :roll:
Would something like this be alright?

Yes that's fine, but why not buy a track pump with gauge and just use the mini as a trail pump?0

I think the way most folk do it is to have a track pump with gauge at home, and a minipump for the trails. When on the trails just pump it to whatever feels about right.
Thats what I do anyway.
That gauge will probably be ok, but remember you let air out everytime you measure.0 -
+1 do the same for suspension as I have one of those Topeak mini shock pumps.EH_Rob wrote:I think the way most folk do it is to have a track pump with gauge at home, and a minipump for the trails.

In the future I'll buy a track pump as well, but due to funds it was either/or, so I opted for a good quality mini pump.0

Can you DSR your current pump and buy the one with guage?0

a track pump doesn't have to be expensive:

Thanks for that, before I click 'buy', are any of the sub £20 ones here a better buy than that one?

The CRC ones are probably not any better. The Phart one looks very similar to my mates Topeak one. I would guess they are a similar design just branded differently.
I have no experience of the phart so I'm not personally recommending it but it should be up to the job. I used to use a £5 pump from Tesco for ages, its was plasticity and cheap feeling but pumped up my tyres with no problem.0
