Do they work well? Brand/model to buy?
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,
Steve
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......

Ride Safe!
Garmin sells them as well.......?
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 :yes:
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...
