    My oxford floor pump packed in tonight after 7 years faultless use. Changed the battery and now it reads 0psi all the time.
    Before I go buy a new one,what are other folks using and how accurate are they. Any recommendations welcome.
    Cheers

    The gauges on pumps are shite for accuracy. I use a track pump and an accurate pressure gauge, bit primitive but it works for me.

    Standard foot pump and this 2 in one pressure gauge & tyre tread depth jobby. Very accurate and easy to get on the valves on the 13my blade wheels.
