Mojoman Posted September 20, 2012 Share Any recommendations? I have a cheap Checkers one, one on my 4x4 compressor and one on a cheap RAVX floor pump I bought this morning and all three give pretty different readings! Must be able to read presta and shraeder and not cost a small fortune! I see Sportsmans had an electronic one for around R220? Anyone got one of these? I want a separate gauge so no matter what I use to imflate the tyres I can always have a constant reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akneethling Posted September 20, 2012 Share Try the Topeak Electronic guage, or Parktool have one. But they are Pricey. I wouldn't get any cheap ones. Go for one of those 2, or any reputable brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometime Posted September 20, 2012 Share I've been very happy with the Topeak. I use it on car and bike tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted September 21, 2012 Share Hi,I got an analogue meter from Midas some time ago. It has lasted a few years now and is fine. I did compare the readings with a few fairly expensive meters that friends have and it is reasonably accurate.RegardsSarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift01 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Ha ha I also squish the tires for a guage, but i found in the very cold mornings I would get it quite wrong. fingers were too cold and the tire felt hard enough. Must get a proper guage one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
