Bizarrely I've lost both my topeak gauges, no idea how. So, time for 2 more digi gauges. Must be presta, doesn't need schrader, but has to be good and consisntent down to 6psi as it's mostly for the fatbike (even half a psi is a big deal in a fatbike tyre), Needs a let-off valve ideally, and live reading (ie, I don't want to have to press a button to get it to read the new amount after I let out some air, as some do)
Anything else good before I get another two Topeak Di2s?
The fancier Topeak one is live read while you pump it up, with release button, and reads in 0.5psi units, if that floats your boat. But it's twice the money. I like mine, because I thought all these things were at least a little bit handy, but I haven't much experience of others.
Was going to recommend the Accu-gauge 15 psi, reads to 0.2psi, ideal for fat bike - but it's not digital.
I got a cheap Halfords one. Goes down to about 4psi in 0.5psi steps.
Schrader one side and presta the other.
Measurement only. No let off valve.
Ah hah, I just realised that it doesn't really need a let of valve, it just needs to re-read quickly if you use the "let it off a bit to let air out" technique. I just forgot that, because most digi gauges I've had don't deal well with that and have too much memory so they just keep reading whatever ti was when you took it off the valve
So I guess the really important thing is the live/fast read.

I've actually got one of those, don't like it at all.
I've a fatbike accu gauge bought in error, it's the super low pressure one, ideal for your purposes. Only used once.

Thanks Alex but like I say, got one already, I just really don't like it.
