Agree. I don't have the Pen gauge on my Lezyne Road Drive. For repairs on the road, I just pump until tire is hard and I've felt I've pumped enough. This usually works out to 90+ PSI when I check it after getting home.
BTW, I prefer the Topeak Race Rocket pump to the Lezyne Road Drive. The hose is captive, rotates freely, and the chuck is better, IMO.
