I've been looking for a nice analogue tyre pressure guage, and these were recommended for their ease of use and accuracy, and a mere £8.90 delivered! Just arrived this morning, looks, and feels, a nice piece of kit.

Let us know how accurate it is as I'm in the market for a new gauge.

Autoexpress reckoned they were only .5 psi out either way on their tests

I thought the piezo-electric ones were as accurate as you could get - and are cheap as chips?

Admitedly - the analog guage will work always.

Good value

You're right Al the digital ones are cheap, I'm just fed up of the batteries needing replacing The other problem I've found with some of the digital ones is they can be a bit bulky and fighting your way past twin discs etc is a bit of a mare. The rear wheel on the K12 is also horrible to reach the valve. The front one has the valve pointing sideways from a spoke for ease of access. The rear is in the traditional location but right next to a spoke so a bit of a fight

I wanted a larger diameter analogue one for the tool box, and was attracted by this one because of it also having a "bleed" button

Been after one for some time but never seem to get round to it and this looks like a good buy.........ordered

Thanks

cool, how's the K working out?

slparry......... how's the K working out?

Bikes been great, Its me that's messing it up...........
I tried V power because of all the talk about how good its meant to be , but
the one I put in the tank turned out to be V power Diesel and it
only done six miles to the tank which turned out to be very expensive as I was
unable to sort it myself plus I just noticed that the back tyre is started to square
off (fair enough) but front as well, looking closer it seems that the fender extender
may be flatting about and touching the front tyre.

damn

I have a fenda extenda to put on mine at some point, I think Timbox said his was "chirruping" on the tyre too .. I'll have to watch out for it.

The diesel thing's easy to do. I REALLY wish someone would design a triangular nozzle for either petrol or diesel so that neither fit in one anothers tanks

Same issue with the fender extender here. Wouldn't think it would wear the tyre down much though?

Gutted for you, as Steve says, it's easily done if you not paying attention or distracted (like taking your new K1300s for it's first ride!).

Some guy was talking about a bike meet he was giving leaflets out for and ran back to his car to get one for me

Yep, mines in the Bin now Steve, couldnt get it to shut up, and seeing something wearing away thats in contact with the front tyre just aint right
