Hi all
Looking at how I keep the tyres at the right pressure on a long cycle tour.
If I buy one of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALLOY-PUM...KE-TUBE-VALVE-ADAPTOR-NOT-BRASS-/261536370999
will I be able to use a pocket sized car tyre pressure gauge? I suspect not cos there'll be no centre pin for the gauge to press down.
Any other suggestions on how I keep pressures right or am I just worrying unnecessarily? Should I just use my thumb? BTW the bike's a Thorn Sherpa running large, 2.5" wide tyres at around 50-55psi. I use a Topeak Mountain Morph pump.
Thanks in anticipation folks.
