    Yes using Curvy Girl stems, very good quality. I have to add air maybe once every four or five months or so. Don't think my sensors have any danger of wearing out.

    Took wheel in to dealer for dismount, the t valve had only one seal, dealer was concerned so i called cyclemax and they said it works that way but dealer used another seal. So it goes rubber seal on outside of wheel, then rim then rubber seal. When i got home i had a clearance problem using a normal air chuck so i had to grind off the metal lip that held the o.e. plastic clip that holds on the valve stem retainer. Did you grind off the metal lip with your stems?

    No need for a seal on the inside. I mount stems at a 45 to the rim, it makes getting a 90 chuck on them easier and avoids that little tab.

    I did grind the metal tab off of my wheels; for the installation of the T-valve as well. For those that are interested, this is the T-Valve that we are talking about:

    Once the bike is up to temperature the reading are not acurate any longer. I use them just to let me know if a tire is leaking durring a ride after I start the ride.

    The fact that FOBO will let you know before you ride and can still add air accurate is invaluable.
