I assume you've used this pump regularly before and with good results? I recently had a tube explode like a rifle shot while inflating and thought I must have installed incorrectly, as previous comments have noted. Maybe I did. But today I was pumping a new tube following a flat (thorn) and the gauge on a recently bought pump read 0 PSI even though the tire felt more like 80-85. Even after I adjusted the connection to the valve, it was reading 65 PSI. Made me think that the previous tube may have exploded because the gauge was reading incorrectly and I continued to pump to get the gauge to read 85 PSI, taking it beyond the allowable pressure. The other comments are more likely correct, but wanted to add another piece to consider.
