Digital tire pressure gauge

[Prince Albert Cycles]

Any suggestions on a reliable digital tire pressure gauge available locally ?

thank you

Topeak. The rest are trash....Unreplacable batteries, parts that wear out, don't fit on your fork and shock to check those presures either, etc.

Toppeak D2 , nothing else comes close 

 

they're just hard to find

Not particularly hard to find. Rush brought in a bunch with MaxAss branding in addition to the Topeak and they are doing the rounds. Bought from Stoke in Woodstock last week and they had 2 on shelf and was told there were plenty around.

I've got no complaints about my Blackburn honest.

Do they fit on the valve on your shock? My recollection is that the head is a bit too large. Rather have 1 versatile tool.  The Topeak fits nicely on most shocks (unless the frame makes life hard) and all air sprung forms and is a great way to properly set your suspension pressure the same no matter what pump you use.

It will work for most rear shocks I think, not forks, but I dont ever use it for that, I just use the same shock pump all the time, I am also not that pedantic over my shock and fork pressures

Tire and shock pressures are wide appart.

 

Very few gauges are accurate over such a wide range .....

Odd that it would work for shocks but not forks 🤔

They don't need to be accurate per say over a wide range. Just consistent in their reading. That way you can set all repeatedly.

Shocks normally have the valve protruding from the body of the shock, forks are recessed into the fork leg

Well if the Blackburn doesn't fit a fork valve then for me, it's essentially useless over the Topeak which will do all of the above easily.

I took my blackburn, placed it on a brick, fetched the 5pound hammer and turned it into paint dye,

POS that gauge is, absolute POS

More and more shocks are coming with the valves very close to the eyelet or can 

 

trunion shocks especially
