ChrisF Posted January 23, 2018 Share 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 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christofison Posted January 23, 2018 Share My father-in-law has the Topeak digital pressure guage and the pressure is always spot on with my Bontrager reCharger floor pump. PieterJvR and the nerd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted January 24, 2018 Share 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. Halfdoesyn and PieterJvR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIB Posted January 24, 2018 Share Got some sealant in the valve. Now it is a very expensive paperweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted January 24, 2018 Share surely you can just disassemble it, clean and put back together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepblue1993 Posted January 24, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIB Posted January 24, 2018 Share It is a fairly well sealed unit/lack of skill to disassemble.... I will double-check the figger bit tonight! Deepblue1993 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasilvarsa Posted January 24, 2018 Share 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.
