  • recommend me an accurate pressure gauge for Presta valves ?

    Ok ..got lots of pumps incl track + a mini digital schraeder halfords jobbie and old analogue presta one but not confident any are fairly accurate at the lower end of things ie fat tyres/ tubeless/low pressure. Just wondered how people are measuring low pressures and if a decent gauge exists?
    always used thumb test in past but want to be more consistent for testing purposes. People always say get a presta/schraeder valve converter but ime they only work for inflation not deflation .
    comments please
    thanks

    I use a Toppeak Smarthead Electronic gauge.

    No idea how accurate it is but it gives consistent readings down to low pressures.

    Yep, Topeak electronic one. I use it on everything from shocks to fat bike tyres.

    It does not need to be accurate, just consistent.

    +1 the Topeak gauge.

    Annoying how it auto-powers off in precisely the amount of time it takes to move from one tyre to the other

    The topeaks are consistent but not accurate; I have 2 and they read differently. But reliably differently, which is the next best thing.

    +1 for the Topeak digital one. I have no real means of checking accuracy but it’s consistent.
