Every now and then, i will check the tyre's pressures using a digital gauge. Most of the time, what is shown on the pump's meter corresponds to my gauge's reading.

(Of cos you can say that the gauge is not calibrated, but lets not go there.)

 

So i guess, it can be trusted lah.

 

Another thing, alot of headaches can be solved by using a L valve.

Probably the best $50 or so I've spent on a bike.

 

Any idea where's best to get these?

yup! i see that sign too in shell stations.. but it still works! haha..

 

 

 

just basically gotta insert properly, then the machine will take care of the rest. of course set your KPA/PSI to your bike's tyre recommended by the manual.

 

If if is not placed properly, air will escape. happened to me before, have to adjust, freaking move bike here n there to get the sweet spot.
