Tyre Presuure.
When did you check your tyres last?
and how much air did you let out fiddling around getting your gauge to read?
Well now you can check them at a Glance
The tyre checker is pre set by the manufacturer you just order the pressures you need

If the idicator is Green your pressure is correct.
If it is Yellow you have lost between 10%-15% and you need some air.
If its RED you are dangerously low and should get air NOW!!

$20.00 for a set of two this includes an anti theft kit.

Valve caps like these, have been around for years. They work to a certain degree, until the washer gets a bit out of shape, goes hard, and they start to leak a little. Only takes a couple of minutes to check your pressures, and then you know they are good. These could be the bees knees, but.

I think they're very cool. As long as you don't get complacent about them, you should be all good.

And is it $20 for a pair or each??

For blokes like myself with bikes that seem to sit around a lot they may well be handy,yea im lazy and no matter if i bother checking pressures or not the fact is most of the garages close to me have annoying attachments on there air hose that i cant be bothered trying to use,at least these will give me some warning if i need to bother before going anywhere.

I don't tend to use petrol station air pressure stations, i find them to awkward to use on bike valves and usually i tend to loose air in the effort, so im happy with a normal bike track pump, and small 'oxford' in this instance pressure guage.
Though these look tempting and i know if would be tempted to try them, it all looks to easy. Bet they add more weight to the bike!
