Good old fashion bicycle pump works just fine for me.

I use one of these. I bought a 2 pack from Camping World years ago and carry one in my saddle bag along with my pressure gauge. I thread it thru one of the slots on the disc rotor and then onto the Schrader valve. Give me plenty of room to check and fill and there is no leakage when installing or removing.

Camping World doesn't seem to have them anymore but you may find them at Walmart or other RV supply stores. Fairly inexpensive and it really does work well.Just don't forget to remove it before you ride or well, you know.

I had the KurveyGirl angled valve stems installed last tire change. Much easier to check tire pressures.

For a hundred bucks on Amazon I really don't see how you can beat FOBO.

My solution. Viair digital pressure gauge with clip-on chuck attached to air tank with quick-disconnect on a Goodyear leader hose. One-tenth pound pressure gauge with trigger to add/reduce pressure at the same time you read it. All you need is access to the valve stem. No need to get down on the ground and fish around for an angle to put a gauge on the stem.

I also have the FOBO system and cannot understand why more people are not using a TPMS. They have excellent customer service and a stocking dealer in
Florida.
