In reading the forums it appears that a loss of 10 lbs in a week is normal, so I need to get used to checking more frequently.
The pumps gauge should be close enough. I check tire pressure every ride. Takes just a few minutes. So, perhaps a separate gauge might come in handy. Also, get some chain lube and lube it maybe every 4 rides.
