I used a chart which had the bar for psi 100 at 6.90 so that's pretty close.

I guess I'll just buy a tire gauge and measure it that way instead of risking overinflation and having to buy a new tube. Sometimes you can't tell it's overinflated until you sit on the bike and pedal for a few seconds and find out the hard way.

Maybe I didn't set the compressor correctly at the start, I could have started with the setting too high to begin with.

I bought a Bell manual pump a few years back and I never could get the thing to work correctly so I threw it away and thought I'd try an electric compressor this time.

Thanks everyone for your input.
Bell doesn't make pumps, they are a helmet company, that is probably your issue. A wally-mart product labeled Bell is not going to be of much quality. A nice Joe Blow from Topeak or Specialized Air Tool Comp or similar quality pump from your bike shop will be easy to use.
