    Question Air Checkers on Trade Me.

    Has anyone had any experience of these Air Checker safety caps? Do they work? Thinking of getting some as Christmas presents.

    no experience, but I reckon those anti-theft locking nuts you could get with buy now might be the bizzo

    Realistically, you should be constantly checking your pressures, as they can really affect your ride, not be relying on something else....

    Whats wrong with getting a tyre pressure gauge and doing it properly? I'd expect that they'd be a waste of time and perhaps not set for the PSI rating for a bike. Probably more for a cager and is the sort of garbage I'd expect to see on some cages...
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    I would like to try them before I buy them
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    If they work they are a great idea, but I thought *Neons* were the gift idea this year?? :slap:

    I think they are are a poor substitute for a good quality pressure guage

    I have read elsewhere that these things have a habit of failing to retain the air in a wheel where the valve stem is in line with the radius of the wheel (quite common on motorcycles, as it happens)
    ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.

    Thanks "What" I KNOW to use a proper guage and have one, I just wanted to know if anyone had experience of these. Sounds like they are a bit dodgy if they can let air out so I will give them a miss.

    But then you wouldn't be able to have a set of these!
