Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Giant Control Tower 2

I've only used this a few times but the pump leaks air where the hose screws on to the pump and the pressure gauge goes back to 0 ...what am I doing wrong?

A little slow leak-down isn't a problem, at least when inflating Presta valves. But it can be annoying.

Have you tightened the hose? Perhaps added some pipe goop or teflon tape? Make sure there are no gaskets missing.
