Just buy the teeny little presta to schraeder adaptor - usually about 3.00 at most LBSes.

Loosen the presta nut 1-2 turns and tap the presta nut once, install the adaptor. Then use your pencil guage as you would with a regular schraeder valved tube.

When done, you can store the adaptor in your bag or take the adaptor off - close the presta nut - and then put the adaptor back on.

But it might get stolen...
