I've had this Zefal gauge for something like 15-18 years. Works by pressing the appropriate side against the open tire valve and quickly removing. (Has both a Schrader and a Presta side) I really can't say if it's accurate but it seems to be. I would certainly trust it for an 'on the road' adjustment.

It also has both pounds and bars for measurement. I believe it's still available.

Can anyone recommend a tire gauge specifically for lower pressure
presta applications? (I.e. car gauges won't work.) I run around 20
pounds on some of my fatter tires, and while I don't need something
super accurate, the gauges on my topeak mini pumps won't even register
anything until you are somewhere near 25 or 30 pounds, and I like to
adjust pressure down after riding to the trails on the road.
Thanks,
Gernot
