I was concerned that the valves might clog with sealant in a tubeless set-up, but haven’t had any such issues so far. The company says it shouldn’t happen, but even if it does, it should just be a case of cleaning them out. In this guide, we’ll look at the optimum tyre pressure for every type of bike, riding style and setup. Why does tyre pressure matter?

Since bicycle tire pressure gauges fall under the commercial category, their error margins will range from +/- 3-5% for analog and +/-2% for digital. Analog vs Digital Gauges Reasons to buy: Accurate to within 0.1psi. Simple to fit on the valve without losing air. Small and light. A soft-compound tyre will give more grip for a given pressure, as the rubber itself boosts traction. Here you might consider adding a touch more pressure because this will give the tyre more protection and stability, while retaining that grip you want. Should a rear tyre be pumped up harder than the front? Having a great bike pump is one thing, but having a tire pressure gauge can give you an entirely new dimension of utility for when you’re maintaining your bike. A good cyclist will always keep their bicycle’s tires in top condition. So for you to have the best riding experience, it’s crucial for you to get accurate readings of the air pressure inside your bike.The product dimensions are 1.8 x 0.8 x 3.7 inches and it weighs only 1.76 ounces. Since the product is compact you can carry it around with relative ease or have it stored in the glove box of your car or your garage.

As always, the carcass you choose will depend on the balance you want between weight, rolling efficiency, puncture protection and grip. Tyre compoundIn the past, tyres were pumped up as hard as they could be. Today’s riders are much more aware of the impact of tyre pressure on performance and handling, with many preferring to run lower-pressure set-ups. Hybrid wheels come in various sizes. Some bikes use 700c road wheels while others use 26” and 27.5” wheels commonly found on mountain bikes. This oversized bike gauge has a flexible air hose design. This will reach your tire valve even if it is placed at a tight or weird angle. After use, the hose can be disconnected and stored in the handle for easy and convenient storage. So, what tire pressure should you use? If you’re simply after a setting that will work well in most cases, or a great starting point then our experienced testers recommend a base setting of:

Well, it depends – unfortunately, there’s not an easy answer here. When trying to decide on the correct tyre pressure for your mountain bike, it’s all about balance. However, inflating your tyres to the correct pressure can boost comfort, grip, performance, reduce the risk of punctures, and is ultimately safer. So, a little air can make a huge difference!You don’t have to be an expert to use this pressure gauge successfully. It is designed to be easily used when you are exploring rough terrains on your MTB.
