Does anyone have this system installed? I have read in the past people were having issues with certain systems pulling their valve stems out or having to replace batteries too often etc. with the search function not working I was looking for opinions before I pull the trigger on this.
Thanks.

I put FOBO on my Valk 3 years ago. Moved them over to my F6B that I bought last year but added "T" valves to make everything easier. Great setup.
So glad someone brought this up. I will use the Garmin sensors to connect to my 395 but needed to get the t-valve stems from Cyclemax. Ordered them 2 minutes ago. Will need a new rear tire this summer and will bet that the dealer won't have them in stock when I need them.

I've had good luck with the TireGard TPMS. It's nice to be able to read the pressure and temperature as you ride. Batteries in the senders last over a year, and are very easy to replace. The receiver battery doesn't last quite as long in my experience but it is even easier to replace.
I would only install these on metal valve stems. The senders are big enough that I'd worry about damage to the rubber part of the OEM stems.
I don’t think I would like having to use my phone for the display as with the FOBO system. The steel mate looks like I could mount the display inside the saddle bag or somewhere unobtrusive and not have to carry around a fob. Could it be setup to come on and read the sensors at power on? How quickly would it read them once it receives power? Willtill, any valve stem issues?
