Did you get any answers on this? Just wondering if I should add a trick, little electronic PSI gauge to my tool collection.

I like the lifeline digital pressure gauge I bought from wiggle.

I've got the newer SKS one and it's good. Seems to be accurate, I don't have a second gauge to measure it against. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/sks-airchecker/rp-prod176719

Still-haven't-got-one bump. Anyone have any experience with Topeak D2? It does suspension too which might come in handy if I ever get my Stanton out of storage.

Anyone have any experience with Topeak D2?
The Topeak D2 looks good and takes commonly available CR2032 batteries, the same as most cycle computers. Have you tried/got one yet?
My old analogue gauge became obsolete when screw-in presta valves appeared, as it leaks air around the flattened sides of the valve insert.

No, not bought one yet, it's still on my todo list.

It's no great, it doesn't work for suspension, and will let all the air out by the time you've got it off.
Ended up going for the SKS for tyres and just keeping it in my bar bag, and a lifeline digital pump for suspension (the same as a lot of other brands just much cheaper).

I don't really need the suspension feature. I have a shock pump and don't ride enough to use it anyway.
SKS is £21 at Tredz (plus an extra £5 off discount code applied)
(almost got sucked into ordering the £17 EU option from amazon) -

I've got the SKS one, works well enough for me on both Presta and Schrader. The little button to let air out controls flow quite well so you can dial in pressures easily.

Yeah, that's the one I finally pulled the trigger on.

I read review complaints that the early SKS ones did not update live when one operated the pressure release button -- the unit had to be removed and refitted each time to the valve. Apparently this has been changed for the current revision, but it is worth checking when it arrives.
The Toppeak D2 looked rather bulky in a video I saw, so I'll also take a closer look at the SKS gauge.
So I've got a Lidl track pump which I'm quite happy with but the pressure gauge has never worked properly and is wildly pessimistic.
Can anyone recommend a good presta pressure gauge? At the moment it's between this Zefal, which looks ok, but I've found one negative review of, can't find any more reviews:

And this SJS, which looks possibly better, but mixed reviews on Chainreaction:

But can't find further reviews of these and the internetz are full of Schrader pressure gauges used by motorists and crappy presta gauges that won't go over 100psi...
Can anyone recommend one? I have utfs'd with no results.
