Tonik Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thing rocks. Nice case and reasonably small so it goes in the saddle bag. Super easy to use with any chuck on the air source. https://www.amazon.com/CyclePump-EZAir-Tire-Gauge-Chuck/dp/B0147P0KX0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 You can get everything at the hardware and auto parts store and make your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Or I could order this one that is 1/3 the price, just doesn't have the 90 deg chuck. https://www.amazon.com/G-H-Meiser-EZ02-EZ-Gauge/dp/B001CJHU9W/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1468447328&sr=1-1&keywords=ez+tire+gage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Quick Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Or pick up a cheap pocket size one from any auto parts store for less than $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I usually don't have any problems though. Mine are easy to get to and the wifes bike has 90 deg stems on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Quick Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I see now, it's not just a Guage but a adapter as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right and for me the important part is the 90 that clamps to the tire. My front is a nightmare if the gas station has one of those long straight chucks. And not enough room to get a 90 valve stem in there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I thought this was going to be your "I bought a busa" thread, you teasing bastard. I have two tire gauges, an Accuguage I bought at an auto parts place for about $10, & a Motion Pro liquid filled one that was considerably more expensive & guaranteed to some professional degree of accuracy. Both read exactly the same. The Accuguage goes with me & the Motion Pro hangs on my garage wall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I went big on mine, but it's accurate to 1%, versatile chuck, and lifetime warranted through Snappy. Since buying a NoMar, I guess I just didn't want to skimp on anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since buying a NoMar, I guess I just didn't want to skimp on anything.I have a cheap harbor freight dial gage I've been using for years. I checked it against one like yours and a very high end digital one my uncle uses for drag racing that reads down to 1/4 lb increments. And my little HF one is pretty dead nuts with both or them. And the glass has been broken since day one on it. .lol..I paid $3.99 for it http://m.harborfreight.com/110-psi-dial-tire-pressure-gauge-62699.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Quick Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 My cheap tire slime Guage reads to the 10th of a lb. And also has 2 other type measurement systems. But no fancy adapter or nothing. It's good for the quads for reading low pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Why didn't you remove the 3 screws and replace battery?Wasn't the battery, somthing in the led screen was loose or f'ed up.

This is a robust and well made tool, anything breaks and it's replaced, plus the convenience of Snappy coming to the shop every week saves me time and/or mileage dealing with retailers or shipping back for warranty.

No offense taken man....you definitely found a great deal. I was simply explaining my side. And there's nothing wrong with anyone else's choices here either. I'd had a cheap Autozone type stick gauge lie to me by more than 10 pounds at the Gap last year, ultimately cost me a front tire/labor....so I made sure I showed my wallet who's the boss of my tire pressures.

2talltim Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yea I'm stupid obsessed about tire pressure I'll check it if ambient temperature changes more than 10 deg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
