You really lose 10psi on removing the pump? Darnit!
I tend to work on the assumption that if it feels like a rock when I hit it, and doesn't go bang, then its ok for the sort of riding I generally do. I don't believe the guage... for a tenner its unlikely to be great.
My Pa is still using an automatic car tyre pump as old as I am to do his bike. The guage is wrecked but it sure makes it easy!
