What happened was bikes became so full of junk at the rear that you have to crawl on your hands and knees to find the tire valve, only to realize it is inaccessible, so you have to get back up and roll the bike some more. Don`t know about you, but I`m 64 and getting up off the ground doesn`t come easy any more....

I've been very happy with Fobo's. I put their metal T stem on when I got them and have had no issues. Works well. I guess what I have is the original model and the 2 is a smaller diameter cap which is nice but I hardly ever see them unless I add air or change the battery.

well you’ve probably never had a tire go flat on you at 80 mph over 1000 miles from home. I’ll take tire monitoring any day especially since my wife is on there with me. 🤔

I know, right?? Then, if I get a flat, I just go to the nearest pay phone and call a taxi. Freaking millennials. Amirite??
