On the rear wheel it's pretty easy to check, but it's a pain in the ass on the front wheel! I'm trying to check the tire pressure since I just got new tires a few hundred miles ago, and I think I'm a little low but its so hard to get the thing centered on the tire. Any tips or is there some kind of easy way to do this that I'm missing? :(

Think it depends on your tire pressure gauge, try getting one that fits a little better. They have the ones with the 2 foot hose that is seperate from the guage, seems to work pretty well. btw those cheap stick ones arent very accurate, i reccomend a good quality guage.

What kind of gauge you using...look into something like this like Ez mentioned...if you can find one with a 90* angle end that would be perfect...any Auto Zone or whatever will have em...

Hm I'll have to pick up one of those.. that looks like it would make it a lot easier!

Alot easier...feed it thru the rotor carrier...it's cake...no pun intended :omg:

check em before you leave, and then again when you get there and se if theres a difference.

Buy a $25-$35 inflator from Pep Boys. If you don't want to do that, overfill them by 10lbs on the way home at a station. Then set them before you ride the next day.
