Tyre Pressure Monitorig System (Tpms)

[TKH]

Ideal for local runs I guess.

 

Love em in the car, but I still inspect the tyres when washing it.........always a hand job.

 

If ya going on long runs, use your normal gauge to monitor pressures, you can give the tyre/ brakes/ wheel a visual and tactile inspection for pad wear, defects & FO which haven't become punctures yet - you know the kinda stuff you probably do routinely when washing the bike.

 

I tend to check my tyres same as you when washing (car and bike), before a run and whenever something looks or feels wrong with them. The hope is to pick up issues that probably will cause problems when on a ride before I get home - punctures, etc.

 

I tried the valves which show green - if the pressure is ok, amber if it's lost pressure ad red for a problem. What a load of rubbish. I bought them for the cars and bike. I noticed the wife was driving around with a flat tyre but the valve showed green, and many other problems with them.
