Bigfoot Posted May 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2009 Has anyone here ever tried the TireGard-Wireless Tire Monitoring system? Not very cheap and don't want to waste my money. I haven't dones much research so there is probably someone who sells them cheaper. Just curious if they work or not. http://www.bigbikeparts.com/ $209 at this site.

davecb Posted May 22, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2009 They probably do work, but checking your tire pressure at least once a week is a lot cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM30 Posted May 23, 2009 Share #3 Posted May 23, 2009 I checked this item out in Calgary and was told the price here would be $379 plus tax. A bit much don't ya think:bang head: BillM30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loehring Posted May 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 23, 2009 I agree with Davecb. When you start depending on a bunch gadgets to monitor you bike you stop noticing things. Checking the tire pressure, oil level, air level in shocks, etc. makes you pay attention to your ride. You notice things like loose bolts and things that need to be adjusted or tightened. It's all part of the relationship between you and your bike. I check tire pressure at least twice a week. I use the Ride-on product and I haven't lost a single pound front or rear in the past 3 weeks. If you're concerned about losing pressure and not knowing it then I recommend Ride-on, but I wouldn't even consider $375 for something like that.

Leadwolf56 Posted May 23, 2009 Share #7 Posted May 23, 2009 Ride-on is something you put in your tires, it seals a small puncture from a nail or a screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted May 24, 2009 Ride-on is something you put in your tires, it seals a small puncture from a nail or a screw. Hmmm. Will have to look into it. Is it sold at auto parts stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumboogy Posted June 6, 2010 Share #13 Posted June 6, 2010 Hey Cougar...did you change out the valve stems on your bike? I know the front valve stem is rubber (although it is short)...and some people have talked about them being dangerous on rubber valve stems. Thanks, Wally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sling Posted June 7, 2010 Share #22 Posted June 7, 2010 I check my pressures all the time, it's part of the look over when I get ready to ride. I can't see spending a bunch of money on a monitoring system. If anything I'd get the product below supposed to indicate when the air pressure drops over 2 lbs. You might try these, they look inexpensive http://www.autogeek.net/kwtc.html http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/autogeek_2108_52472787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
