Just returned from the bicycle shop. And this is where things like basic instructions would be very beneficial.
The pump is a Giant Control Tower 1+.
From my experience when inflating tyres, as soon as an air hose is pushed onto the valve the air pressure can be measured. Apparently not with this Giant pump. Even though it has a pressure gauge it is not a pressure gauge. So when the pump is attached to the valve it will always read zero. You need to pump the handle a few times before there is any pressure registered.
Grrrr.
