How do people go about setting Presta valved tyre pressures, I've got a couple of pumps that work with Presta valves, but you just push the valve into the rubber "seal" but it doesn't seam tight enough to get a pressure reading from a gauge.

I got one from my local bike shop for a quid, but it doesn't have any seals in it so it's not 100% airtight, good enough or push iron pressure tho'

£5 for 5 of them on Amazon, though what I'm going to do with 5 of them I don't know, sell them for £1 each I suppose.
