TireGard

[Bigfoot]

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.

They probably do work, but checking your tire pressure at least once a week is a lot cheaper...

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:

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.

 

Just my .02:2cents:

Thanks for the opinions. But I have to ask. What is Ride on?

[Cougar]

Mike (eusa) (sp?) has them and I am sure he will add to this.

he seems to like them and has been using them

for a long time now. pretty neat set-up he has.

Ride-on is something you put in your tires, it seals a small puncture from a nail or a screw.

I use RIDE-ON in ALL my tires. Great stuff and the

mechanics love it. (WATER SOLUBLE) nothing like SLIME

Hmmm. Will have to look into it. Is it sold at auto parts stores?

[Cougar]

Nope,

Still using RIDE-ON in all my Rides, Cars and Trialers

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,

[rumboogy]

*oops* thought you were asking about ride-on *hanging head in shame" *LOL*

[Cougar]

Mike, EUSA1 run the tire guards he loves them. email him.

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
