Presta Tyre Pressure Gauge

Hi All

Any recommendations for the above please, the one I have seems to let out more air than tell you what is inside the tube

Tried it by feel this morning, 5 punctures latter, mind they all seemed to happen at once and only half a mile from home, I thought it might of got it wrong and the tyre was under inflated, it defo was by the time I got home

One of these you press it against tyre and go "bitmore" or "bit less" or "about right"

I go by feel , may be easier to just get a presta /schrader adapter.

Track pump - useful anyway.

That's what I've been using not sure how accurate it is though, might have to get my thumb re calibrated :shock:

The gauges on most pumps are generally pretty innacurate. Maybe different on something like a stupidly price Lezyne one (I would hope so, given the asking price). The main reason I ditched my OE presta tubes was that all my pressure gauges (and my footpump, which has a wildly innacurate gauge) are schraeder.
