So on the back of my foot pump quest I am now looking for a accurate pressure gauge, I already have an oxford (pic) but I'm not sure on its accuracy and it always takes a couple of goes to get it seated properly to get reading, so im thinking of an analogue one like the Draper here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-69924-Pre...uctDetails
or the Race X professional here http://www.amazon.co.uk/RACE-PROFESSIONA...iy_title_1
but im not sure if the spokes will get in the way with this one. So FOCers what are your thoughts
This is my oxford one
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
Who's to say whether any gauge is accurate, what is important is that you constantly use the same one to cancel out any variations.
I just use a 5 quid halfrauds jobby.
I have the draper one youve linked to - works fine for me.
agree with the above though, its not so much about accuracy (I think the draper states on the packet it is only accurate to + or - 3psi which is not that accurate) but about consistency.
Yeh but I dont want to be consistantly 15 psi over or under.
You know that halfords jobbie is that that digi one because it gets good reviews ah it this one £10 http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/store...yId_255241

They have always been spot on ln the 30 to 40 range.One registered 1lb out at 100 psi the other only goes to 50 psi.Both gauges are analogue l have never had a digital one tested yet.
