Silca launches Truth Digital Pressure Gauge, Olive Drab Ti bottle cages and shop tools

Silca has launched 3 new products, and, as is typically the case with Silca, they’re extremely desirable, although for a variety of differing reasons.

Truth Gauge being used to check tyre pressure on a gravel bikeFirst up we have the Truth Digital Pressure Gauge. Accurate to 0.2% up to 60psi and 0.5% at 100psi, the four digit digital display reduces potential for errors in readings by eliminating parallax error (I had to Google that so here’s an explanation) commonly produced with analogue gauges.

You’d be right in thinking the Truth must has come from a World Tour environment, where performance in measured in granular fashion. This hyper-accurate pressure gauge, hand-made by Josh Poertner himself, guarantees the most accurate and repeatable tyre pressures for the world’s most demanding events.

Unsure about how ‘bike geek’ we can get about a pressure gauge? Try this on for size: Each Truth starts with the digital pressure gauge that is temperature and humidity compensating, made from the finest medical grade 316L stainless steel, wetted components and sensors for a lifetime of hassle-free use.

  • Packaged in an ABS plastic case.
  • The unit is battery powered and has an auto-shut off to conserve battery life.
  • A two-button pad allows easy access to the features without the need to work
    through complex menus.
  • These features include, auto zero, and conversion of the pressure units.
  • Readings may be converted to various engineering units.

Next up are 2 very different Ti products forming the Olive Drab range of components. There’s the 3D printed Ti Olive Drab Cerakote Shop Tooling, and colour matched Olive Drab Cerakote Ti bottle cages.

Olive drab is the new black for those gravel-grinding, power-sliding, bike packing, hard-pack aficionados; the perfect match for the all-day epic and weekend adventures.

Worth noting, just because you see ‘extremely light’ don’t think it means ‘won’t last’; Silca delivers a 25 Year Hard Parts Guarantee.
