my first reaction when seeing the gauge . . . how easy is it to read when it
is facing the rim ? wouldn't it have been better on the other side so you can
read it as you are applying the air .
and of course i haven't used it , but i know from trying to put 100 psi ( let
alone 125 ) into a tire with a small hand pump how tedious that job is .
after going through a few compact pumps that required several hundred strokes
and were difficult to handle once the pressures got into the bigger numbers ,
my tool of choice is now a norco offering that incorporates a compact
extendable hose attachment and a flip out foot to aid pumping . 200 easy
strokes pumps a 23c up to a 100 psi reliably . only 166 grams .
