Well guess who had a few beers and got on a computer!!
I got this, item Id 392587796660, off ebay, China again! £18 incl postage! It’s just so I could have a quick check of pressures without the hassle of getting the tyre gauge out etc etc

basically 2 sensors, one for the front tyre and one for the other one! and a read out screen and a clamp, but I won’t be using that

Instructions are pretty simple and basic, telling you how to set up the options on the monitor and to calibrate the sensor, you get there in the end!
The black gnarled thing is a kind of spanner to separate the sensor so you can get to the battery.
The 2 brass nuts are put on the valve before the sensor to stop you over tightening it.

once you’ve pumped your tyres up, doh! Fit your sensor and the monitor picks up the readings

not terribly bright, the screen, before you pass comment!
And not terribly accurate the front seems 4 psi down and the rear 2 down, but once you know this you know where you stand!
I was worried that the sensors, being less than subtle, would affect the wheel balance but after a ride down the A3 at speeds that varied
I didn’t notice anything.
I think I might go and look at the bikes for sale section now

 

They are metal right angle stems so hope they should be ok shouldnt they?. but worth notng ta.
I suppose there are the type that just change colour but are they just as big? these they do look smaller, anybody used them, I know you can choose different pressure ranges

 

Not the first time Ade so don’t worry. Do you reckon the metal valves will/might rip out then? They aren’t extensions

 

Well I took her out for a spin and the balance seemed alright but going on what people are saying on here I might sell them off cheap to some vulnerable pensioner.... @Tiglet ????

 

He’s the one that suggested you might want them coz your old knees couldn’t get you down there to check the tyre pressures anymore!
