Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

At home I use a floor pump with a gauge. But I ride tubulars, and pump daily even when away from home, ie. on a multi-day tour, and (obviously) when I flat on the road. Out on the road I use a hand pump, and check pressure with my calibrated fingers.

In any case, I don't live by numbers. I care about how the bike rides, and whether filled by gauge or not, if the bike doesn't feel right out on the road, I correct that.
