I'm looking for a decent tyre pressure gauge for using with Presta valves. I've got a good Cruz Tools gauge that fits Schrader valves but they don't do a Presta version.

Any suggestions?

Do you not own a track pump with a built in gauge? If not, I'd get something like a Topeak Joe Blow Sport rather than faff about with a pump and separate pressure gauge. Other pumps are available.

I've got a track pump with a built in gauge but the gauge is close to useless!

I'm bumping this as the pressure gauge on my track pump is also useless, big lines at 20/40/60 etc psi and a small line at 30/50 etc.

Are there any good simple pressure gauges available? Or failing that, which track pumps have got decent pressure gauges?

My Lezyne track pump has a great gauge. It's enormous, so easy to read and use. They even do a digital one from what I recall.

Got a Schwalbe digital gauge it's really good, easy to use and doesn't eat batteries. The minimum pressure it will read is 5.5 psi which won't bother you unless you own a fatbike.

Another vote for the Schwalbe digital gauge. Lezyne digital pumps are also very good.

That Schwalbe one looks like just what I am after. Thanks.

I couldn't find the Schwalbe one in stock when I need one so I bought this instead: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/topeak-d2-smart...

It works well.

I've bought the BBB one from Chain Reaction, which looks a lot like the Schwalbe one. Probably from the same Chinese factory.

Old post I know but it rings true....bike shops use these and they should last an individual a lifetime...for the faff of getting down and attaching the thing stick a Joe Blow sport on and kill two birds with one stone.
