Which Do You Trust ? Floor Pump or Handheld Gauge

[iplayhockey]

Hello,

Which gauge do you trust more ? The one on the floor pump or the hand held gauge ?

I have found that I consistently get a reading up to 10psi lower with the handheld gauge over the gauge on my floor pump.
Could I be letting 10psi out between removing the head from the floor pump and putting the hand held gauge on ?

Thank You

I'd go foot pump personally. You could go and test it in the LBS.

Do it in the reverse order and see the result. You could also retest it with the floor pump and see if the pressure has dropped.
