Chigee External Tyre Pressure Sensor

[manxie49]

Anyone in the group using the above TPMS system?  Considering getting them for the Versys, but would be interested in hearing from anyone using the system, and getting their opinion on how good they are.  TIA

Following with interest.

Currently use the Bike-it indicating valve caps (which are great).

I do like a gadget though..

I used to have a Michelin system on my old MT10, but the cap on the front wheel never seemed to seal correctly, it was like having a continual slow puncture on the front wheel.  I ended up taking them off.  Seen these Chigee ones and was just wondering what they were like in the real world, seem to get OK reviews.

Got them on car.

hear good and negative experiences with them.
all I’d say is never trust them wholeheartedly and never trust anybody who goes near them or touch them directly or indirectly that has to check or change the wheel or tyre.

I agree, these things shouldn't be given a 100% trust rating.  IMHO they're good for giving you an early heads up that something may be amiss.
