Understood. I pump my tires to 45psi, the 60psi gauge is more readable and theoretically more accurate at that pressure than the original 220psi Silca gauge.

At the risk of sounding insensitive, if your floor pump gives you a workout, it's probably good to be getting that workout.

I don't use threadlocker on my Presta valve cores, but I do check the valve core on every new tube to make sure that it's tight.

As I noted in my earlier post in this thread, I was surprised by how much I like the ABS-1 Pro. I just find it very comfortable and convenient to use.

I think it's good that you posted a picture, too, because these really aren't exactly like the old Lezyne chucks.Lezyne actually has a page about their air chucks: History and Compatibility of Chucks. The one I purchased recently is the first Lezyne floor pump I've owned, so I never lived with any of their earlier models.

I recently bought a Topeak Joeblow X. I like it and chose it because the gauge is near the top which makes it easier for old eyes to read.

Hey, no harm in two or more people sharing in the same thread that they like the ABS-1 Pro! I think it's good that you posted a picture, too, because these really aren't exactly like the old Lezyne chucks.
Lezyne actually has a page about their air chucks: History and Compatibility of Chucks. The one I purchased recently is the first Lezyne floor pump I've owned, so I never lived with any of their earlier models.
