Can not find one with a good review.

Ive got a track pump but you have to pump it a few times to get a so called accurate reading.

I Want a gauge not a pump.

cheers.

I lost the end of my track pump (car tailgate interface incident ) and got a replacement one that came complete with an inline digital gauge which seems more consistent than the pump gauge - thought I got from CRC but can't see so maybe not but it wasn't much more than a replacement tube and connector but might be worth looking about for

the topeak track pump I have might have a decent gauge, but getting the head off the valve bleeds out loads of air with its stupid little yellow lever arrangement. My old SKS was much better.

I use a digital guage I got from CRC, a blue thing. Seems pretty good.

Got one for about £15 from Halfords last year. Presta and Schraeder. Seems to do the job

The Oxford one has always been fine for me

Got the Oxford one myself as well but only use it after pumping up a tyre. Give the tyres a squeeze before a ride just to check things haven't got out of hand.
