    Can someone recommend a good easy to fit use tyre pressure gauge for checking tyre pressures on a bike..

    needs to be small and compact - and fit under the rear seat..

    I bought a halfords one but its total and utter crap!


    Thanks

    I just bought one of these, its got a release valve. Also a neat feature is that the reading stays on the dial even after removing from the wheel ( reset when you press the release valve)

    EDIT - missed the bit about fitting it under your seat! but I also have an old skool one, this will fit in the tool bag

    I've got a Venhill it's similar to the draper, the hose is braided steel and has a bleed valve for depressurising. It's a good bit of kit but maybe a bit bulky for under the tail unit. I do find it awkward sometimes getting the nozzle to fit the valve squarely and end up losing more air from the tyre that I have to blow the tyre up in the end anyway.
