Pumping up tyres?

[Banditbandit]

I try to use Z stations as I've found that, generally, they have the flexi pipes with the small clip-on coupling on the end that fits into the front and rear wheels ...

The other stations have the short length of silver pipe on the end .. these are actually flexible and can be bent so they fit onto the valves ..

One of these in the shed fixes most issues quickly. It's much easier to use than the pumps at most garages and I can wear shop gloves to keep me hands clean.

I got fed up replacing foot pumps (which seem to have a life time measured in months) and bought one of these for the sole purpose of pumping the car and bike tyres.

You dont need a fancy foot pump a good pressure gauge with bleed valve is key.

I use a $10 foot pump from kmart give the tyres a good few pumps then use my accu gauge to get a reading and use the bleed valve to get proper pressure. The pump also has a gauge but its shit.

I use an AccuGage pretty much like the one in the picture. That button is handy.

Accu Gage also make a digital gauge but I've seen them in dealers here for $90.00. You can find the same thing on E Bay for between US$5.00 and $15.00. Somebody here was seriously taking the piss.

Me too. If pressures are meant to be cold there is no point riding to a petrol station to check on their equipment, if you can get it to fit. I have a twin barrel sub $20 foot pump and a decent dial gauge. Pump, test, pump a bit more.

Next time you get new tyres get right angle alloy valve stems fitted , cost about $50 but look blingy and make life easy

I bought a non digital one from Repco, the price was minimal (can't remember) but nowhere near $90. Might have been $12-15?

Thanks pritch, that gauge looks the bees knees.
