Prince Albert Cycles Posted August 9, 2022 Share Any suggestions on a reliable digital tire pressure gauge available locally ? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted August 9, 2022 Share 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. herrowpreeze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted August 9, 2022 Share Toppeak D2 , nothing else comes close they're just hard to find DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted August 9, 2022 Share 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. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tire and shock pressures are wide appart. Very few gauges are accurate over such a wide range ..... mazambaan and dasilvarsa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
