I bought the Topeak after reading my own advice. Been out in the garage comparing the Topeak to my old Accu-Gage, and the AG wins. I want to like the Topeak but it loses too much air with a presta valve for my taste.

The AG has the presta valve stem fully inserted within the gauge before the valve core is depressed, so no air escapes.
With the Topeak the valve core is depressed before the valve stem enters the gauge so air is lost.

I'm keeping the Topeak but recommend the Accu-Gage over the Topeak.

My Accu-Gage arrived today and it is about as basic as it gets. I'm anxious to use it this weekend. Thanks for all of the advice and recommendations.

fwiw, i have this and like it a lot. mainly because i can dial in the exact pressure i want with the "tune" feature. so i always just overshoot it with my floor pump, then release air with the D2 until its exactly where i want it. less trial/error than with a dedicated gauge that only reads the current pressure.

I like mine too and have one for road bikes and another for fat bikes that only reads up to 30 psi.

I have been needing one myself. Man the reviews are all over the map. I like that the Topeak does both Presta and Schrader for use with my motorcycles and mountain bike. It has good reviews but does seem to have an issue of letting pressure out on release.

I also have the topeak D2 and it works fine.

I also really like the accugauge, I mostly use the 60 PSI one for cross and MTB's. I might have got lucky, but it proved that my specialized pump was actually pretty accurate, but thats far from the norm. I really like the release on the accu gauge.

Thanks I picked up one today off of Amazon.

I like the SKS Airchecker, but the rubber seal/grommet gets chewed up by threaded (presta) valves.

For traditional analog units, I prefer the Accu-Gage.

also, you can prolly replace that "integrated" gauge on your blackburn with any one of a number of aftermarket gauges. they're inexpensive and all you need is some teflon tape to seal the threads. why not upgrade to a silca gauge?

That is a great pic . I don't need one,but now I want one.
