NOTE: The values on this chart differ from the values on calculator, this is because the calculator attempts to account for more variables) Weight 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. While the TyreWiz app suggests tyre pressures based on your weight and tyre dimensions, I didn’t find this particularly useful for mountain biking. It suggests just 14/15psi for an 85kg rider running 29×2.5in tyres — about 10psi short of what I’d recommend.
Grip– getting the right tyre pressure is a balance between finding the right grip and speed. As we’ll discuss, this will vary according to the type of riding. The below guide provides general guidance on tyre pressure per bike type. However, it’s impossible to provide one optimum tyre pressure as there are various things that affect this, and you’ll need to factor these in. A wider tyre will have a larger volume of air inside it. Likewise, a given tyre, on a wider rim, will inflate wider than the same tyre on a narrower rim.
When it comes to finding the perfect pressure, it’s all about finding that balance between grip and stability. There are so many variables that there is no perfect solution for everyone, but there is a perfect solution for you! It also features an air bleed button so you can fine-tune your bike’s tire pressure levels. Additionally, the gauge’s head is easy to mount and rotate, giving you a better view of the digital display. Speaking of the display, the digital gauge can accurately read up to 250 psi/17 bar, and it can be used on both tires and suspension. The LCD display can be configured to indicate your preferred unit of measurement. Riding Style– one for mountain bikers. The harder you ride, the higher pressure you should go for. This will help protect your bike and its components. If you ride with a lighter touch or are more technical, then you can go a little lower. Comfort– on the other hand, running a lower pressure boosts comfort. A higher pressure creates a more rigid ride. So, if you’re a slightly heavier rider, run a higher pressure within the range. More about comfort than performance and speed? Choose a lower pressure.
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! As the name suggests, the Topeak Smartgauge D2 features a rotating SmartHead to help you engage hard-to-reach valves. It also has a small lever that you slide across to access Presta and Schrader functionality, meaning you don’t have to pull the gauge apart and re-sequence any internal parts. Safety– ultimately, using the correct pressure ensures your tyres perform at their optimum level which is safer than using the wrong pressure.In general, there isn’t a "one size fits all" tyre pressure to recommend,” says Larry Hartwich, our Pro Sports Manager for our Gravity athletes. “It all depends on your position on the bike, the weather and terrain, not to mention the specific tyres you ride. Beginning with a pressure of 23/24 PSI in the front and 27/28 PSI in the rear can be a good starting point if you’re running tubeless and you can adjust as needed.” Analogue gauges are not as common but the ones we’ve tested use metal parts and are generally more robust. They’re cheaper too and because there’s no battery, they don’t turn on accidentally in your toolbox. Are digital gauges more accurate?
