I have installed a system like that in my dads car, bought them cheap on Ali but they works perfect. The only downside is the battery, if you need to change it you need to remove the wheel and tire. I have a
tire machine myself so it is no problem but not everyone does. I can not tell you the battery life for now since the system is approx 6 months on his car, also the app is for a car but you could do 2 bikes with
it left side is bike 1 and right side is bike 2 for example. For me it is not interesting at this point since the app is one for a car and two it does not support multiple cars or bikes in my case.

I made a 2nd set today, a third tomorrow and then I can also equip my FXBB and FLFB with a crankcase vent.


One way valve in the making


One way valve finished


The complete set

They are from Tech BLU. The main reason I got these was because my local shop had them in stock. They work good and I like how clean they look. The only thing I don't like about them is that they go to "sleep" to save battery life and don't "wake up" until you are rolling over 10 MPH. So I can't just check them in the morning before I leave for work...I gotta go down the driveway and then stop and check them on my phone.

The ones I installed on my dads car are always awake, this have pro and cons because battery life will be shortened by this and a replacement is possible but you need to take off the tire to do this. For this reason
I will stick with the Fobo II sensors. I admit that the inner sensor is much sleeker looking but the outside sensor is much easier for battery replacement and I use the short steel valves so the look is still oke.

A lot of good info here. I, on the other hand, have nothing to offer and just came to pay respect for the fact you exceed 10 mph in your driveway. 👊
