So I got this new digital gauge to check my tire pressure and my front tire reads 20 PSI and rear 25 psi. It should be 36 and 42. I tried putting more air in but tire seems pretty inflated.
Could the gauge just not be reading it correctly? the gauge works on my car just fine, i called the manufacturer and they said the bike valve might be jammed?? Any ideas on what I should do?

 

Put a new valve in the stem.

 

Just replace the schrader valve with a new one and reinflate.

 

Thanks guys - got the new stems and the screwdriver lookin tool to take them out and put in. GOing to try and make time to do it this weekend! Lets see how it goes.

 

Should take less than a minute per wheel to do.

 

I run 34/36 in my tires. When I bought the bike, the front tire was at 20psi. What are you using to add air?

 

I used a campbell hausfeld 100 psi max air compressor.

 

jus double check with a.... "mechanical?" one if anything to be safe
