Hi. Thank you for the video. It helped me choose between Topeak and Blackburn. I'm used to Bar units and that means that Topeak is not for me. Why? Because of 4:30. Two decimal places in Bar mode. 1 Bar = 14.5 psi so if you want similar measurement resolution in Bar mode you need additional decimal place. 1.1 Bar and 1.0 Bar in my front plus tyre feel completely different. Topeak in Bar mode barely has enough resolution to distinguish the two.

I have the topeak as well and my issue with it is that due to the way it engages with the presta valve head, I find it impossible to put it on without deflating the tire somewhat. So it would have been interesting to see whether the other gauges also read 17 PSI after the topeak had been used.

I suspect your Topeak might have a worn gasket that leaks a little. If that's true, Topeak might sell spare gaskets. Personally, I have a Topeak Smartgauge D2X, and a Topeak Shuttle Gauge Digital. I definitely prefer the D2X of the two. The D2X appears very similar to the D2, with as I understand it only a few minor differences. The D2X is a pretty flat thing while the D2 is more cylindrical, the D2X gives the reading in PSI with one decimal, and it will measure up to 280 PSI, something I don't ever expect to use. The Shuttle Gauge is in my opinion a little bit more cumbersome, it has a lever so that it will lock onto the valve, which is useful, but I always worry a little that I might bend the valve by mistake if I use the lever a bit clumsily. The lever, plus the all metal construction, also makes it a little bit bigger and heavier, and I also believe more expensive. On the positive side, it has a pass through valve that allows you to attach a pump to the gauge, and turn any old pump into a manometer pump, or I can use it to verify that the pressure gauges on my pumps are accurate. That's certainly very useful, but 9 times out of 10 I will reach for the D2X. Just like the D2X, the Shuttle Gauge Digital shows decimals in the PSI readings, and it measures up to 300 PSI. Both gauges turn on automatically when you attach them to a valve, and will turn off automatically if the measured pressure doesn't change for a minute or so. Not sure if the D2 does that. Also worth knowing is that there is a Shuttle Gauge Analog, which has an analog display instead of a digital one. This one is a lot bigger than the Digital and I don't really see why people buy it. I guess some people hate batteries, or maybe they like the way it looks and keep it somewhere where it's clearly visible. I don't need that, after all it's just a pressure gauge.
@rasmuswi7 ай бұрын
Maybe I should add that I just saw someone reviewing the Shuttle Gauge on KZbin and he was a lot more positive about it than I am and seemed to think it was amazing, so maybe you should consider it despite what I just wrote. 😃

Hi, Does it power on? If you move the counter weight wheel around by hand is the noise also there? If the noise is still there. You will have to remove the chain and the try again as above. If the noise is still there you will have to start to dissemble it. It could be a bearing that has gone. The only issue that worries me is that you are not getting the power readout. If you ride on Zwift. does it change power as instructed by Zwift or does this not work anymore either?
