Okay, I just tried out my 20 year old, somewhat corroded Accu-Gage that I thought had stopped working years ago before sending it to be fixed now that I found out from this thread that it has a lifetime warranty. I had found a review on Amazon saying that it was worthless for pressures under 40 psi, which is pretty much all I use these days, so I was starting to wonder whether I should bother having it repaired.
I did several readings with the Accu-Gage on different tires at different pressures, and it works (still or again, will never know). I compared the readings to my cheap Taiwanese? (Giyo) floor pump (which agrees with both my Topeak mini pumps once the pressures get high enough to register on the minis). The Accu-Gage repeatedly read within a pound or so of the floor pump down to 8-10 psi. The new ones say they read 3-160 psi, but the stop on the needle for mine is actually at 6 psi, so it can't read below that. Caveat: the dial is a bit small if your eye sight isn't the best. Cheers, Gernot (love/hate it when I can answer my own questions) Huber On Jun 14, 11:44 pm, PATRICK MOORE <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1 for anything beside the Topeak electric one that registers down to > 10 (ten) psi. > > > > > > > > > > On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 10:43 AM, cyclotourist <cyclotour...@gmail.com> wrote: > > +1 on that request.
