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

My apologizes for hijacking this thread and if anyone wants to spank me they can go right head but I have a question about when to read tire pressure when using a floor pump? I have a Bontrager HP Turbo Charger floor pump that I got at a Thrift Store for $12 and I absolutely love it and will probably take it to my grave with me.

Is it best to look at the gauge on the downstroke or after the downstroke has been completed and the pump/guage is at rest? Thanks everyone and now back to your regularly scheduled program which may already be in progress.
