            Comments about Planet Bike Dial Tire Gauge:

            Package claims gauge can be used on Presta or Schrader valve stems. It did not work with my threaded Presta valves. The seal is to large to seal off leaking air around the stem. It may work on Presta valves without threaded stems but I didn't have one around to check it. This one is going back.

              Comments about Planet Bike Dial Tire Gauge:

              This is an awesome gauge. Very solid. Works well on Schrader and Presta valves. I think the previous commentor lost the little black rubber piece that goes inside the removable brass adapter - without the rubber piece, the gauge no longer functions with Presta valves as too much air escapes. I've used this gauge on my road and mountain bike tires, and my car.

              It could only be improved if it were smaller and could fit inside my crammed saddlebag. I'd definitely recommend it.

                  Comments about Planet Bike Dial Tire Gauge:

                  I bought this to replace a Topeak Digital gauge which was useless on Presta valves (It was too hard to get off without losing air).

                  This gauage was is too lose and does not seal around the Presta valve stem. No missing parts, as suggested in another review.

                    Does not work with presta valve for me. I am certain I have not lost the black rubber insert that another reviewer suggested could be missing. The gauge does not make a good seal, so an accurate measurement cannot be made, and 10-30 psi is lost in the attempt. Unfortunately I've read this complaint about both this gauge and other brands on the web, so I'm not sure what the solution is yet.

                      I kept this in my mtn bike pannier and this tire pressure gauge broke after one ride. I returned to REI.

                      I actually don't really think anyone needs a portable tire pressure gauge. You can pretty much feel your tire to see if you have enough air.

                      Save yourself the trouble and the money. Don't get this item.

                        Gauge feels well built and sturdy ... and heavy. Measures accurately. A note regarding comments about presta valves. The gauge works fine with presta valves, however, the presta adapter which comes screwed into the gauge has a small O-ring inside which forms the seal. If you remove the presta adapter, the O-ring can fall out if you are not careful. My assumption is those having a problem with the presta valve have lost the O-ring.

                          Comments about Planet Bike Dial Tire Gauge:

                          I worked in the bike industry for 20 years As a mechanic I kept this gauge in my apron at all times, telling tire pressure with your hands is like telling the future "your only guessing and not really accurate" Accurate tire inflation is important not only for a better ride experience but for safety as well.

                          I have had the same Planet Bike tire gauge with me for over 4 years and have used it almost every day, it works for me on both Schrader and presta , while it is more finicky on presta you just need to know how to use it.

                          as of late I am long distance touring Cyclist and have been on the road for about a year, having a correct tire pressure keeps me on the road and enjoying the ride.

                          I highly recommend this gauge

                          Remember "Ride the miles....Enjoy the Smiles"
