Either Longacre or Joe's Racing have some very good pressure gauges. Go with a 60 psi face of at least 2-1/2 to 3" and an angled (not ball) chuck. Use a needle pointer gauge face design. Some faces are a "glow in the dark" style, but that's not really needed.

The good gauges will have a rubber cover around the gauge to protect it. The hose should be around 18" long and a bleeder button is a necessity so you can easily drop air pressure without messing with the tire valve.

Here's a Joe's Racing gauge from
Amazon Amazon

Longacre gauges are more expensive, but they are excellent products and worth the extra cash. Some are liquid filled and some even have a neat aluminum storage box. Do a Google search using "Longacre tire gauge at Amazon" to find lots of choices.

For the money these work very well. The glow in the dark is great for the other uses besides racing!
