If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.
Just installed the FOBO TPMS monitors.
Install: once I figured out my phone's Bluetooth "touch" function, install was easy. BlueTooth 4.0 or greater with the "NFC" function ('touching') is required.
Monitors communicate well with the phone app once I'm in the garage.
Still getting used to setting the tire pressure limits - apparently the rear tire heats up significantly more than the front so the pressure exceeds what I put in as the max threshold on the phone app.
stevenolts has had the same system for a year. Maybe he can add something more.
Cheers,

thanks. The FOBO was the one that I was looking at.

That's the one I have too David.....I've had mine for about a year and I'm very pleased with the performance....be sure to replace the batteries at least once a year...Originally Posted by Davidk
There is another (Steelmate) on the market where the indicator is hard wired into the bikes electrical system. Here is a link......

That one also looks interesting. Anyone running the Steelmate?

I use a Steelmate; bought it last time I was in China for around $80. Works great. I love having the display/indicator unit hard-wired so I don't need to use my phone to check the pressure.
Hey Dan,
How is the Steelmate working out for you. I've been perusing these threads and looking at them on the Internet and elsewhere.
Any issues with yours so far?

I have the steelmate and like it. It also doubles as a volt Guage since it is hardwired. I went this route as I use my bluetooth for audio through my sena.
Thanks for commenting
Did you mount it on a T type valve stem, such as what some of the Fobo user's are or may be using? I've been scouring the 'net for T-Valve stems and it seems that Fobo is the only one that sells them.
Here's a pic I found of a TPMS with a T-valve stem... not sure I am liking all of the mass hanging off the inside of the wheel though...
