Well, it's that time of year again, dust off the bandit and get back on the road. Going to do the usual checks over the next couple of days - but hate doing tyre pressures. Always let out more air than I put in - takes me ages - any tips?

Get a decent foot pump and tyre gauge. Don't use the ones at the garage forecourt. PCL make a very good gauge and it's only about £8.

Good advice - just googled PCD and got Pussycat Dolls and a rare condition called Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia.Don't think the Pussycat Dolls will be much use - who is PCD please?

Oops - just realised you put PCL not PCD - I'll try again!!

Halfords sell pcl. Bike magazine did a test a few years back and it beat gauges costing 3 times as much.

Have always used a Halfords foot pump.
Pumps tyres up... no probs. Has a guage on it to.

Get an angled adapter. Makes it easier to attach the pump.
E-bay below or (as you live in Trowbridge) try G M Stevens, Canal Road.

I got a good digital tyre pressure reader [smiley=thumbsup.gif] from Halfords also a right angle adaptor makes it easier.

I have a manual tyre gauge (sorry still old school prefer these to the digital ones as one time my digi one was reading off the scale on my kit car so I have always stuck with the manual ones), and then have a electric pump with a gauge on as well.
