Do they work well? Brand/model to buy?

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...
There is another (Steelmate) on the market where the indicator is hard wired into the bikes electrical system. Here is a link......

Based on seeing Steve's FOBO system at the rally, I purchased my own set from WingStuff and installed them last week. So far so good. It's really convenient to have the big graphic display on my phone. My units are mounted on 90-degree steel valves... but I've got t-valves in my shopping cart at WingStuff.
Thanks, Steve! (Like I don't have other things to spend $ on!)

You are so welcome!
Glad they are working for you!
I spent HOURS trying to get the touch-beam-thingy (NFC) to work properly. My phone was the issue...
Anyway, just horribly convenient to go out to the bike, check the pressures, and either giddyup or turn on the compressor.

Got the FoBo system. Talks to my smartphone. I don't use it for "real time" monitoring although if I could see my phone while riding I could.
I just use it to check psi and tire temps before heading out and in between stops.
$100.
Works for me.
Cheers,
Steve
