      Comments about Planet Bike Dial Tire Gauge:

      That escaping air the presta valve is the gauge filling up; I don't know what you expected but ALL GAUGES DO THAT, it is insignificant.

      The tool is very accurate and confirms my SKS AIRKOMPRESSOR floor pump gauge which has always been perfect, German gauge perfect. The mini pumps don't have gauges and now I don't have to guess. An extremely well built tool, metal and glass not plastic junk.

      inaccurate at low air pressure

        Comments about Planet Bike Dial Tire Gauge:

        Like most air pressure gauges it is inaccurate at pressure less than 30lbs I am comparing it to my Currie Enterprises EZ Tire Deflator. I could not get a correct reading with this gauge any lower than 30 lbs. It's a good gauge I'm keeping it in my car, and will keep looking for a low pressure gauge accurate from 16 - 35 lbs. If you are a commuter or ride a road bike I recommend it, but if you're riding low tire pressure off road (lower than the 34lb recommended tire pressure keep looking)

            Comments about Planet Bike Dial Tire Gauge:

            I agree with most of the reviews on this product. COMPLETE PIECE OF JUNK! Doesn't fit firmly over the top of a presta valve so the air just leaks out and you get a very low pressure reading and it actually lets all the air out of your tire. Yes, I made sure that the little rubber piece was there and I tried numerous times to get it to work. I literally had to keep pumping up my tire because it just lets the air out as it's trying to get a tight seal around the valve. Returning it today for my money back. Don't buy this.

              Comments about Planet Bike Dial Tire Gauge:

              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"

                    It seems to work well for me. It's nice to always have the right pressure in your tires, especially when you have a flat on the road.

                        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.

                          Needed a gauge to compare pressures on my bike pump. Used the gauge on a presta valve and it didn't give a good seal. Had the rubber piece inside it. A return item.

                          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.
