Hi all, has any one had any experience with wireless tyre pressure monitors that send a signal from a sensor on the valve stem to a monitor on the handlebars showing tyre pressure and temperature. Normally I'm old fashioned and just look as I'm riding but pannier bags make it hard to see the rear tyre when riding and paved roads are not normally an issue as you can feel an under inflated tyre however I do a lot of miles on my old Eldo and some of them on outback unpaved roads and would be nice to know that a tyre is getting low on pressure before you do any serious unrepairable damage. I'm used to punctures and all my bikes have tyre repair stuff with them but I just want to catch a puncture before it destroys my inner tube beyond repair. Thanks for any replies Bill
Hi Huzo, No not me planning a mass ride I'm a bit of a loner .
I have the Spy system. Link below. I love it. All wireless, replaceable sensor batteries, the main unit holds a charge forever and when it does start to get weak, it takes about 20 minutes to fully recharge. It only comes on when there is motion detected. Under/over pressure alert. The only downside I have found with it is that it tends to run about 3 psi lower than actual. Not a big deal to me. I've also noticed that if a bike sits a while, it still shows the last pressure, so it's smart to double check manually before riding.https://www.amazon.com/rechargeable-motorcycle-monitoring-waterproof-dustproof/dp/B01IR1Z3CS
Does it use little "button" batteries in sensors that screw onto the valve stem? How long do they last, and are they a common $2.50 items or something else?I use the "red yellow green" pressure sensing valve caps on my old bikes, and they tend to leak a bit. Do these leak that you notice ... ?No on-line reviews yet so you can be the first!Lannis
