AMBO Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Would like an accurate (being the priority) gauge. Had a PCL analogue one for years, which has been good, but is starting to give variable readings...Thanks Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I have a Longacre 0-60 psi gauge. Very easy to read 1 psi increments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mph Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I have one of these. I like the hose - makes it easy to put on the tyre and read the display. Was using it at a trackday only today — it seems to have been faultless in the few years I've had it. Saying that, I don't carry an alternative to compare it against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.E Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Longacre 0-30 works fo me 0.5 increments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 16, 2021 Member Share Posted August 16, 2021 Nick:Are you considering analogue or digital or both?Do you want it to cover the range for high pressure bike tyres as well as car tyres?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBO Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Probably analogue, to save needing batteries, but I'm open to suggestions...Ideally, up to 5.5 bar for the camper, but I suspect that's asking too much! Again, open minded though...Thanks Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBO Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thanks for all the replies chaps! Will certainly be considering Longacre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'd look for a 0-30psi if going for analogue. Having 0-60 means you'll only ever use half the gauge (at least, for the Caterham). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timb2117 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I got one of these, made by topeak bicycle company, single battery last for ever, compact and easy to read, very accurate asmy MTB pressures need to be to the single psi. Wouldn' t use anything else, try fleabay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative paul richards Posted August 17, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've had two of the Draper ones recommended by Ian and unfortunately both have failed. I have found THIS to be the best cheap gauge. I've had it some time and have regularly compared it to very expensive ones we use on the race cars and found it to be accurate.

Blackmamba Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Another fan of the Draper 69924. Had mine for nearly 15 years and very accurate and reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Re #12: I have the same RaceX gauge. A plus for me is that it holds a reading until you choose to release it.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 19, 2021 Member Share Posted August 19, 2021 Me too, but without the RaceX logo. Works OK, but I've never checked it against anything....AutoExpress: "Best digital tyre pressure gauge 2020"Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted August 20, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted August 20, 2021 I use the gauge on the Michelin foot pump I have. Test and adjust in one manoeuvre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Geoff Brown Posted August 24, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted August 24, 2021 RaceX for me. A multiple award winner. Very accurate & no batteries !I wrote a RaceX review for LF a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vine Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I think it was that article that persuaded me to buy the RaceX. (Two, in fact -- one for S-in-L as well.)JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Macquarie Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Looking at that review, and after a quick google, is the statement of maximum expected error correct?I think Grade B is +- 2% of span which in the case of the 0-60psi gauge shown would be 1.2psi.What is shown in the article is +- 2% of reading which, I think, is wrong.If my understanding is correct, then there is a strong case for having a lower range gauge for the Seven - say 0-30psi.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACFowles Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just purchased a RaceX on the basis of the comments here, and very impressed.At least I now know that its the TPMS that is at fault, not the tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
