Title: pocket sized tyre pressure gauge
Post by: shaggs147 on July 12, 2018, 08:40:12 PM
Hi chaps,
I'm looking for a half decent pocket sized pressure gauge to check the tyre pressures. I don't have much faith in the one on my mini compressor, and as we know, the ones on the bike aren't that accurate, but I do like having them to keep an eye on things when out and about. The old gauge I had has finally failed, but I didn't think that was that accurate either! If anyone can recommend one that doesn't cost the earth, and is reasonably accurate, that would be great.
Cheers,
Mark

I've used these for years. Have one on each bike, one in the car and one in the garage.

Quite welcome.  :yes:
My oldest one still hasn't run out of battery and has spent nearly 10 years and 2 crashes in the GTR1000's glovebox.

Does it fit on valve without having to use one of those angled valve things.?

Yep it's small enough to fit straight on without fouling the hub
