Re: How to measure pressure in the tubes?

Exactly. Some gauges measure a max of, say 10 PSI. Perhaps an electronic pressure sensor, often sold as an accessory for a voltmeter, or something in the auto repair world, might be appropriate.

Anything qith a max scale of about 10 times the pressure you're trying to read will be horribly inaccurate.

To measure the pressure in a tube, connect some tubing (metal or plastic) to the inflation opening, connect that to the plastic tube and through the correct connectors to a gauge. A "T" fitting will allow inflation as necessary.
