What do you all recommend?

I'm looking to buy a new Quickcar tire/pressure gauge, but I don't know the differences between the three Qucikcar gauges I'm looking at.
1) Glo tire Gauges
2) Dry Gauges
3) Liquid Filled Gauges

If you all could tell me the differences between the three and which one you would recommend I would appreciate it.

I can only speak for liquid filled gauges. The reason a liquid gauge is nice is because it prevents the internals of the gauge from getting blasted with pressure in case the tire pressure is high. The oil will absorb the shock and prevent the high pressure from screwing with the calibration.

Hope that helps a bit, good luck with your search.

As with any gauge just make sure you don't drop it!! This wil screw up the calibration and make the gauge useless.

Also if you ever get a chance have the gauge calibrated against a true pressure gauge. This will give you an idea of how close to accurate the gauge is and let you run actual tire pressures once you know how inaccurate your gauge really is.

Nah turned out I cleaned the lower fork tubes too well and it was too cold outside for the fork oil to flow properly. Let it sit for a day, came back and the noise disappeared. On the one hand I'm glad the noise is gone on the other hand I hate when a problem fixes itself...

Derek sells the liquid filled quickcar gauges out of the NESBA parts trailer. If you are going to Road Atlanta you can pick one up there. Where are you from in NC?
