Why do you need this specific pressure gauge so urgently? Digital pressure gauges are 10-a-penny! 🙂

what for presta valves? ive not seen any on any of the sites anywhere? this was about the only one that comes up in a search?

so can anyone recommend one then? i had a cheapo one before and it was useless, used to knock out about 5psi just trying to attach the thing 🙁 heard this topeak one was a good one 🙁

fuzzywuzzy nice one!

is that any good? no real issues? also does the bleed value also tell you the pressures dropping as you do it? or do you have to take it off and measure again after you use the bleed valve bit?

cheers great spot!

Hmm good question on the bleed valve, only used the gauge a couple of times (not actually sure why I bought it now as a thumb test is normally sufficient to match my bike handling skills rather needing specific pressures :p ). It sealed on a presta valve fine though, if I remember will check tonight on the bleed valve thing.

cheers fuzzywuzzy ordered that one anwyays 🙂 let us know on the bleed valve though, as a great addition, instead of having to take out, put in air/take out air, check etc to do it one fail swoop would be sweet!
