GODESON Presta Valve BicycleTire Pressure Gauge 0-160psi and 0-11bar

SEE IMPORTANT UPDATE BELOW........Purchased from Amazon on July 23,2023. I was out of town for much of August and just got around to trying the gauge. Has a nice feel, hefty, solid etc.And it does give a reading. But only when it is attached to the presta stem. If I remove it the reading (ie the needle) returns to zero. I am NOT touching the reset button. I totally understand how the reset button functions. And I am not using the reset button or even touching the reset button.So it kind of works. Sorta. Not really.Because it does not store or save the setting it means that I have to get down on my knees to read the gauge. If I take the gauge away from the stem the needle returns to zero. So it appears to be a defective unit. Does it read accurately? I don't really know. I suspect it does. What would be important is that it CONSISTENTLY reads the pressure. But that's not the issue. The inability to hold the pressure reading is a huge problem.I am just out of the 30 day window for a return to Amazon. Otherwise it would have gone back to Amazon.I have reached out (8/28/23) to Godeson through their website. I will report back when/if I hear from the manufacturer.However, at least based on my experience, I have a hard time recommending this gauge. My experience may be an anomaly but at this point I would not buy it. It appears that I may not be the only one with this particular problem. Again, I will update if/when I hear some thing from Godeson.UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATEAfter reading my initial review the vendor/manufacturer reached out to me. Initially the provided me with instructions to, hopefully, fix the malfunction. Written instructions and an very useful video.Unfortunately the fix did not work. I advised Godeson that the problem had not been resolved. Within a couple of days I received a new gauge. It works perfectly. PERFECTLY. So I am amending my initial review to reflect Godeson's EXCELLENT customer service. Based on that service and the performance of the working gauge I would highly recommend this gauge. I use it for low pressure readings (ie below 30lbs) on cross country mtn bike tubeless tires. And for that it works GREAT.Thanks to Godeson for great customer service.

I was looking for an analog gauge vs a digital because I'm cheap and don't want to spend extra on something that works right out of the box. This was one of the lowest prices for analog gauges. The gauge comes wrapped in a rubber tire which I thought was funny but it sure will stand a good drop. The only negative though is the arm is extended so a drop at the wrong angle wouldn't be good. Build with some heavy metal so it feels it could handle a few drops at any case.The gauge is easy to read and easy to depressurize. It was also very easy to take a reading and you don't have to worry about trying to pry it off like some pumps. It is a heavy little thing but small enough to carry. I bought this along with a hand pump for the rides. It's cheap enough that if stolen or lost can easily be replaced. A larger pump with a gauge is used at home instead. I definitely would recommend this or something similar. A few of the analog ones available on the site looked the similar and had some outer covering as well but I preferred the rubber tire look since it's for reading tires. Happy Trailing.

Works fine. Holds the pressure reading until released, a nice feature.

I was hesitant to buy this after reading some of the other reviews but it works fine out of the box including the needle staying at the measured pressure until the button is pressed.I agree that the rubber tire around the outside adds unnecessary bulk, especially if you are going to put it in a saddle bag, but it is easy to cut off.I only received it yesterday so I cannot attest to its durability.

It didn’t work. At all. I ended up having to purchase a different one.

I give this gauge 3-stars because I am still not sure why it works the way it does.I bought it to check my bike pressure when pumping the tires up and it works fine, but the thing that I find weird, is you have to be able to put the gauge in a position that you can actually see the face of it and with this gauge that is not always possible.This may be a user problem, but when using the gauge I have to be on one side or the other when getting a reading. If I just take the cap off and put it on to read it, the face is not visible at all times. In that case you can't see the reading. It would have been helpful for the manufacturer to put a push mechanism that you could push to hold the pin in the final reading position so you could take if off and read it, or, have the head swivel in order to read it.Again, this may be a user thing. If you are using it for a car it may make more sense, but bike tires with the bike sitting against a wall, it is hard to actually see the face on some readings.

I prefer the simplicity of analog low-pressure gauges for Fat Bike and 29er + (2.4" to 3.0") tubeless tires. I was unaware that my previous analog gauge was out of calibration until I purchased a Specialized Air Tool high-volume pump that was reputed to have an accurate gauge, which out of the box, read 4-PSI lower than my old analog gauge. I borrowed a friend's digital gauge which agreed with the pump gauge within a 1/4-PSI. Having just received this new analog gauge, I tested it against both the pump and digital gauges, and it was dead on. I can't speak to long-term reliability, but I'm very pleased with the size, accuracy and cost of this new gauge.

I'd really like to give 4.5 stars here because I needed to replace my initial unit; the first gauge leaked after a read so it was not possible to easily, accurately determine tire pressure. Amazon shipped a replacement in one day. The second unit works perfectly. I ordered the 100psi model: it is small, lightweight, fairly durable, and quick to use- on a pressure check very little air escapes the tube. As another reviewer noted, I also removed the protective rubber wrapping around the gauge. It's a little bulky and can obscure the dial. Very pleased with this purchase.
