So what do you all recon to them?

Tyre pressure guage

Personally think there just a gimmick! take s two seconds to check, but everybody too there own (Keiron)

potentially very useful and saves time checking the normal ways. especially on track where our tyres gets caned and then cool down in between sessions.

problem is though, that i think i'd completely doubt their accuracy. rendering them, well, useless for the track.

bit weird that as I was only thinking about them the other day, so many times I'm there pissing about to find the pressures are fine, maybe I'll get some to save pissing about  :dontknow: I like the idea just never bought any but surely they make good sense (I assume when the tyre heats and increases pressure there's ni issue) then again does it make you paranoid checking them everytime you look at the bike though ? :dontknow:

bollocks I don't know now  [wall]  think I'll stay as I am , without them  :icon_thumright:

Put some lights in 'em and they are chav valve caps [rofl]

They are helpful if you are to lazy to check pressure.

Not for me though  [naughty]

I like mine check with a gauge i can see numbers on.

gauge for me, you could  get a bit anal about checking them all the time
most of the time you can feel if they are not right

i just think some times you can get anal with stuff
if something is not right then you can feel it
i check them now and then and lower them in the summer but i know what they  feel like when they are right
and in the summer i go though them quite quick so they dont have enough time to lose pressure
