Tyre Gauges and Pumps
« on: August 28, 2016, 01:15:51 AM »
What do you guys use.  I have a Jamec Pem gauge that is ok on the front tyre but can't use it on the back so I purchased a small SLIME digital gauge with the  angle fitting and that worked great for about two weeks and then it played up.   My pump struggles to fit both tyres. 
Here is a link to the SLIME gauge.  http://www.slime.com/us/products/auto/gauges/digital/5-150-digital-gauge.php
When it played up I thought maybe the battery might be low so took of the back to replace it and found that it was set in place and the lcd screen fell off.

I use a Joe Blow large volume mountain bicycle pump. It has a built in air guage and since I mountain bike, I already had it.

Looks like a good pump but since the LIKE only has 12" rims it is hard to get a valve connector in there and then flip up the locking lever.

I bought the Accutire MS-4021B air gauge for my car and truck because it was highly rated by Consumer Reports.  It's a great and accurate gauge but it doesn't work well on my Like 200i's rear tire.  Thanks for the advice on the model MS-4710B for motorcycles.

As a side note, I am about ready to order a Genuine Innovations part number G3518 for emergency tire repair inflation with CO2 cylinders.  It comes with a repair kit, flexible hose, three 16 g cylinders and a carrying case.
