SKS Airchecker

Accurate enough for workshop duties, yet compact enought to slip into the smallest of seat packs or jersey pockets, the SKS Air Checker is the best digital tyre pressure gauge I’ve used to date, but isn’t perfect.

Powered by CR type battery and weighing a mere 60g it scores over other designs by virtue of light yet solid construction.

Commuter Diaries - weekly musings

What a glorious week of weather. You could tell things were good by the array and sheer number of Italian thoroughbreds on the road. Where were these super machines during the height of winter? My old Dawes work horse is looking haggard and paunchy in comparison. Still I like the fact it is British made; but I have to say, I will probably have to dust off my Specialized Allez Elite, just to compete! It’s pretty much an off the peg bike apart from the Saddle, but is svelte enough for my size. It’s great to see the variety and volume of bikes out there, long may it continue!

Revolution pressure gauge

Revolution’s air pressure gauge takes the guesswork out of optimum tyre inflation. Small enough to sneak inside a jersey pocket, yet sturdy enough for the workshop, it’s blessed with the largest and clearest display I’ve encountered. Registering pressure (in both PSI and Bar) from zero to a whopping 260psi – enough to blow a tubular clean off the rim – I can’t imagine a situation (other than puncturing by the roadside without a pump) where it wouldn't come in handy.
