FOBO TPMS

[Fla_rider]

On Monday I ordered from www.fobobikesales.com (Bob) a set of black FOBO bike sensors. Today on Thursday USPS delivered them. So I read the directions and downloaded the app. To my iPhone. Then I turned on Bluetooth and set up my bike profile. Then it was time to sync the sensors. This process took a little time and rereading the directions but finally I got the connection. I can't believe the variance of temperature and pressure. Here is some pics.

Dang photos!

Did you change out the 90 degree valve stems for straight metal ones ?

Had them for several months
Love them

Does that mean they are accurate or a problem ?????

I have had them for a month or more and when I add air the sensors read very close to my gauge (no more than 1 lb +/-). I have the Harley Davidson gauge I bought for my old Fatboy so it is probably perfect right? The change in temp and pressure change as you ride really surprised me also.

Have you figured out how to get the Fobo app to start after you restart your phone? I have to turn my phone off and put it in a locker before going into work everyday. Some times I forget to restart the Fobo app. If it is not started I do not get warnings that the tires are low while I sleep at night or walk up to the bike before a ride.

One thing I learned is that if you do not have a compressor in your garage and you have to ride to a compressor to put air in your tires the readings will be way off.

Nope, centrifuge pressure only pulls them outward which is only about 1/8" before the cap makes contact with the wheel.

Nether Steve, just surprised at the variance of running temps and pressure. When I got home I had just ran 20 miles. After about an hour of figuringing everthing out the rear tire was still over 100 degrees. After about 3 hours the tires were down in the 80's. The rear tire varied from 55psi down to 39 psi. So the question is do I set the tires cold temp to 41 still?

[stevenolts]

That is my concern because what temperature is the cold setting? It varies every day doesn't it? I have always heard you change the pressure in your tires for summer and winter.

I guess if we set the tire pressure when the tires cold or at normal temp before the bike is ridden on an average day then that is the best we can do.

Do you live "DownUnder" ?

[Fla_rider]

No but I use a Ipad, and that's what happens, no matter which way you seem to turn the camera.
