Member Contributer Oh6PearlVFR Posted May 29, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 29, 2012 I love going through some of the crap that Home Depot puts in the value tools section. I happened upon this little gem and it's worth the $9 bucks. Digital and compact which makes it easy to read the front tire. It also has a depth meter on it. Not bad. I've still been looking for Costco to run the sale on the Digital Tire Pressure Monitor that they had once before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I like digital gauges..... I have several from "RoadGear" the reason I mention them is they seem to be the only ones I've found that are 90º angle for checking MC wheels(not useful on the 90º valve-stims). I check accuracy, places that would let you check against their calibrated gauges IE; a firestation ; trucking co. mech., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max1 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah, I've used a few of them. More accurate than the ones at the servo's. Mine current one fits on my key ring. When I was looking at new bikes local dealer had a used BMW 800 ST with only 900 kays, full luggage & a handy little gizmo computer that also monitored your tyre pressure. Good thing about having your own tyre gauge, only takes a couple of minutes to check the pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 While we're on it, a cheap "floor hand plunger pump" $20 ± can allow for checking and filling before riding. (bicycle shop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Has anyone heard of the ones that will self-inflat the tyre on the fly? All you have to do is dial in what temp you want to keep the tyre, and it will adjust the air pressure accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
