Have you got a link ?

Yeah I got sorted for my clock surrounds.

And yeah I quite like my signature on that forum.
It's a nice change there from the strict rules on boards sometimes.

I got the digital one in halfords and it stays in the fairing compartment for the last 2 yrs. Has a bleeder on it too in case too much air went in. A light aswell for use in the dark and auto shut off if left on. Comes in a nice little case too was only about 25 euro iirc.

I think I know what you mean - it is the type of site where if you want to be a scumbag and a coward and call someone a c*nt, you can. It is a great site to use to insult someone you are too afraid to insult to their face.

Whereas boards.ie is a more refined sites that does not allow personal abuse..

Different site, different rules.

Ah sure I will look at a few online later when I get home.

Actually.. The groupon you linked a while back for tools is expired on the link you put up but i managed to buy them today from another groupon link.

Just incase anyone else wanted to get em and missed it. Here is the link.
I grabbed the 130 piece one earlier today.

Great piece of kit, it looks/feels like good quality to me as well, came in dead handy with the bit of maintenance I did.

This is the gauge I got.....

I'd get this one if it was for home use. Does it mark the hightest pressure when you disconnect it? Small digital one is handy for the pocket if you don't trust the garage gauges
Actually, for home use a compresser with a gauge build on is the handiest.
Now, that reminds me, I must change my biker.ie signature :pac:

It does indeed, I have this very one. The wee button on the valve near the gauge is for releasing it to zero.

The button can also be used when attached to the valve to let excess air out.

It makes a fancy noise to when you reset it to zero!!! The bees knees

How do you use it? It doesn't look as if there are any threads at the valve end, do you just press it onto the valve and when it gets its highest reading the needle stays there until you release the button near the guage itself?

Yes that it. Just hold it in place like the airlines in the gargage. When you remove it the needle will stay there until you press the button to release the pressure.

A true biker could merely kick the tire and would know the gauge!
That's how you know the pros from the amateurs!

Sure just look at the guy who comes to buy your motor... Absolute pro....

And the guards when they stop you... pros, all of them....
