J trailx Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Where could i get a keyring tyre pressure gauge? If possible price?
ChrisF Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 reviving an old thread .... Where can one get a DECENT pressure guage that works on Presta valves ? I do have some decent schrader valve gauges. speaking to various bike shops I am continually told that the "electronic gauges" were pulled because of too many issues ..... fair enough, but what else is actually available. The gauges on the foot pumps are all over the show, even a brand new Ryder pump has a faulty gauge ...

Christofison Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 My father-in-law has the Topeak digital pressure guage and the pressure is always spot on with my Bontrager reCharger floor pump.
Thermophage Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Topeak is the ONLY way to go. Have had the Pro and Schwalbe and they're both *** in comparison.The Pro has a battery that is soldered in and the Schwalbe has a rubber ring that perishes in no time. Spend the dosh one (not three times like my idiot self) and get the Topeak.

TIB Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Got some sealant in the valve. Now it is a very expensive paperweight
Thermophage Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 surely you can just disassemble it, clean and put back together?
Deepblue1993 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Got some sealant in the valve. Now it is a very expensive paperweight Or did you by accident flick from Presta to Shrader with your thumb? Happened to me and took a couple of minutes to figger.
TIB Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 It is a fairly well sealed unit/lack of skill to disassemble.... I will double-check the figger bit tonight!

ChrisF Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks guys. They did not have stock last time I was there (late last year...)
dasilvarsa Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Most Standalone Pressure Gauges eventually fail because of the sealant in the tyres getting inside them.I found that having a 12Volt Compressor with a longish hose and a built in pressure gauge overcomes this problem as the gauge is too far away from the valve.The gauges fitted to these compressors are not the best but they always read the same, once you know the error amount you are OK.
