That depends. To get the pressure in the first place to measure the tire pressure, the gauge has to depress the valve stem. If that depression is maintained, it could bleed pressure off of the tire.From what I understand about how the Silca adapter operates, I don't think it physically depresses the presta valve...so, I guess I'm not sure then how that Kappius gage actually functions...hmmm.
Yeah, if the connection physically depresses the valve, the bleed should work...but then, I guess I'd be concerned about how much pressureis lost when the gage is removed.
I guess I still prefer a "known accuracy" gage attached to the pump, since you can then "sneak up" to the desired pressure ;-)
