Checking air pressure on tires

[Jake]

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...

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.
