new tyrpes

[thebudda08]

4 yrs out of road pilot 4s I changed to road pilot 5s not much driving till after Christmas , I changed to Dunlop road smart before the 4s which I did not like at all , could feel the road coming up the  pegs and handle bars  change after a few weeks , bought a tyre pressure monitoring  why I don't know but I like gadgets

I’m intrigued by that gadget. Do the caps come off easily to put air in?

Oooo gadgets  I have terrible gadget affinity 

[thebudda08]

yes easy to take off to put air ,it comes with a locking nut and spanner , gadgets are my downfall

Cool 

But the temp of the cap is not really the temp of the tire I suppose.
As long as the pressure is correct, that's the main thing.

Just a caution, always use metal valve stems as the rubber ones will fatigue with TPMS.  Several choices out there.  Most convenient ones are t-stems, which will save you from removing the TPMS sensor when wanting to air up.
