    Tire pressure monitoring

    Basically, I Admit it I'm lazy. If there is a device that will show me the tire pressure without me bending over I think it's as great as sliced bread. So I don't own a Zumo Gps because they cost so damn much. I found 2 pressure monitoring systems one by tire guard the other by Garmen. Which one guys and gals and why? Are there more?

    they do make valve stem caps that show green/red at preset pressures.

    Be mindful of how far out those stems jut out; I learned the hard way on another bike when it hit the brake caliper and snapped off.

    I saw this a while ago, wondered if anyone tried them to verify clearance?

    I'd suggest getting away from 90 degree stems, particularly rubber ones like the Honda OEM. I believe rubber stems are intended to be replaced every tire change, but of course nobody does that. For some people by the time they realize their rubber stems need replacing, they're out on the highway doin 70

    My preference are short straight ones like Milton Industries S409. And after seeing a comment by Hiflyer, I only want ones with the nut on the outside so I can keep an eye on them. I just installed these with red thread locker last weekend when I changed my front tire; they fit PERFECTLY.
