Meiser makes a good dial with pressure release specifically for pressures
under 30psi. It is claimed to be tested for accuracy to within .25% of the
scale I use a high and low pressure Meiser gauges in the shop to keep pump
dial gauges honest. Part number for low pressure gauge is PU3009. They

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
+1 on that request. Anything that accurately reads in the 20 lbs range.

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
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'
I believe Meiser makes one with a 0 to 30 psi face. The Meiser gauges
look a lot like the accu-gauge being discussed in this thread, and
might be the same mfg.

Schrader only (for cars). Would be great if there was a Presta
version.

What works best for me is looking at how much the tires compress when
sitting on or riding the bike. I have yet to see any consistency with
trying to estimate a good pressure by squeezing the tires with your
fingers, especially on tires of different widths.

Thumb and forefinger, but - importantly - pinched from the top of the
tire with the finger on the rim, as opposed to sidewall pinching.
I'll recalibrate periodically with the gauge on my floor pump, but
that's what works*.

Your gauge on your floor pump may not be accurate, but that doesn't
mean it's not useful, assuming that it is consistent (which it most
likely is, and besides, that's easy to check). Find the pressure that
works for you by trial and error: Let out air until the cornering gets
iffy or you start to
I generally rely on finger feel except with very low pressures where
even a very small difference in pressure can make a big difference in
handling: there is a lot more difference in handling between 12 psi in
front and 15 psi with the 60 mm Big Apples than between 75 psi and 85
psi with the 23 mm
The SKS Airbase seems to have a very accurate gauge which matches a
MUSA handheld gauge that I have. It's also the most solidly built pump
I've ever used-- all steel construction and a lifetime tool. The Silca
I had before this pales in comparison and broke after a few months of
regular use.

My thumb. Been working for me since the 70's. Still works just as good
as it did back then.
