I found out it isn't a slip - it's for real.) (Incidentally, if you look at the item's images on Amazon, you will see the same fault, however, I thought it was just a picture-taking slip. The psi values are hidden behind the dial bevel, and you have to bend the gauge at an angle in order to see what you are measuring. The dial is not that easy to read (see 1st image). That wasted brass makes up for the massive weight of the valve. The valve thickness could easily handle 3,000 psi, which is ridiculous given that the gauge can go to only 60 psi. There is a lot of useless brass surrounding the silicone seal (see the 3rd image). The adapters, both Presta and Schrader are HUGE! In the second and third image, this adapter is compared with two different Presta adapters that I use for tire inflation. It has its pros, of course: it is sturdy, has glowing-in-the-dark dial, two units of pressure (psi and bar), protective rubber frame, comes with the Presta adapter.
Unlike other JACO products I own, this model disappointed.
In all, a great gauge, but a carrying case would make it near perfect. I haven't checked accuracy with multiple other gauges, but I am prone to assume this is the most accurate.
Once I figured out where to put the silicone tube, things worked great. a spare silicone tube would be nice, now that I know it's a seal that rubs on the presta threads and may eventually wear. It would be nice to be able to at least clip it to the hose, or better yet, provide a carrying case with a spot for the unused nozzle If I store it somewhere safe, I'll never have it with me. I am sure to lose whichever one I'm not using. Again, what should I do with this silicone tube? By dumb luck and trial-and-error, I finally figured out it was the presta stem seal The liner was loose in the schrader attachment tube? Without a diagram or instructions, it made no sense what it was or what to do with it. The presta nozzle did not have the silicone liner installed. I like that it retains the reading until you choose to clear it. I love the bleed-off feature to dial in the pressure. Solid brass nozzles and fittings, real rubber hose, beautiful dial. Overall a great sensor, but a carrying case would make it near perfect.The gauge is built like things used to be. I haven't tested accuracy with several other sensors, but I tend to think this one is the most accurate. Once I figured out where to insert the silicone tubing, everything worked great. It would be nice to at least be able to attach it to the hose or better yet provide a carrying case with space for the nozzle when not in use - a spare silicone hose would be nice now that I know it's the gasket that the Presta is rubbing against -Threads and can wear out over time. If I keep it in a safe place, it will never be with me. Thing is bulky and heavy - A place to store a spare nozzle. Nice to have: - A carry case would be ideal.
#JACO BIKEPRO PRESTA GAUGE REVIEW TRIAL#
Again, what am I supposed to do with this silicone hose? Through blind luck and trial and error, I finally found out it was the stem seal. Has the liner in the shredder mounting tube become loose? Without a diagram or instructions it makes no sense what it is and what to do with it - there are no instructions or assembly diagrams. A few questions: - The Presta does not have a silicone liner installed. I like that it keeps the readings until you decide to delete them. I like the priming feature that lets you set the pressure.
