I do cross country touring and checking air pressure is a necessary evil as I travel through different climates and altitudes. In fact, it's a pain in the butt to almost lay down on the ground when checking the rear tire. I've been wanting to get a TPMS system for my bike for quite some time, but was leary of the failure reports I've read about sensors losing air pressure, often with catastrophic results! With the very positive reviews of the FOBO 2 I decided to go for it. There are cheaper ones available (1/2 the cost, actually) but with my life potentially on the line, it's worth going with a reliable unit.The last time I changed out my front tire on my 2014 Nomad I had the dealer install a metal 90° valve stem because it was so difficult to check or add air with the rubber OEM straight stem in between the dual rotors. This was before I decided to get this TPMS. But now with the 90° stem I was concerned about the clearance between the brake calipers. On the Nomad I knew it would be really close with that 90° stem. Contacting FOBO via their website and posting a question on Amazon's product page didn't yield any actual measurement (though I appreciate FOBO's quick reply and the answers provided by Amazon's customers!). Answers ranged from 5mm (too little) to 3/4" (too much). After doing all kinds of estimates and knowing it would be extremely tight I ordered the system. It arrived in 1 day (thanks Amazon/Seller) and I installed a sensor on a loose valve stem to see how much additional length it added. So, for those that might have the same issue I have, it adds 12.5mm (about 1/2") when fully threaded onto a valve stem.I was immediately impressed with the professionalism of the packaging, the quick start leaflet and the on-line full manual. All was easy to understand and written well. It's obvious that some time was taken to make this a premier product. Contents include the 2 sensors, 4 sensor locks, 2 lock wrenches with a key ring to keep one handy, 2 short, straight metal valve stems, 2 extra batteries and the quick start guide. Finding and downloading the app was quick and easy, and setup was guided by the app. Reading the quick start guide actually wasn't necessary as the app "told" me what to do and when. The online manual provides details for fine tuning the system settings. By the way, my front tire sensor fits between the calipers with about 1/8" to spare (yea!). Both sensors are within 1/2 psi of a gauge I trust. Test riding the bike yielded no tire balance issues.Regarding the app and it's functions. I have an Android phone. This thing does just about anything I can imagine you might need with a TPMS system. I won't list all the functions here since they can be found online or are already posted, but some of the unique features that I like are the Overlay Service (puts a small icon on top of any opened app for quick reference), the ease of setting your hi/lo pressure and temperature parameters in either metric or standard, celcius or farenheit, and can even update the firmware on the sensors. My only dislike about the app is that I can't find any way to stop it from running without logging out of the app, which then requires you to put in your email and password to log back in since it doesn't have a "Remember me" option. That's a pain because I don't really need the app running all the time unless I'm riding or preparing to ride. One of the easiest 5 star reviews I've done. Highly recommended!

Really cool sensors and app. Enjoying them so far! The alerts are very responsive, and the sensors were easy to set-up.

I haven't had the Fobo Bike 2 for long but I am so surprised by how well it works that I had to write this now. However, I will update this review if I have any problems with it in the future, especially if it leaks air, which is a concern I have with it's design.I debated whether to buy one of these for weeks. The reviews were good but I had purchased a similar TPMS but it was one that read out on a separate device, not through a phone app. It was horribly inaccurate and I returned it.Another reason for my hesitation to buy this was that very few reviewers check the accuracy of it's readouts with a separate air pressure gauge known (or thought to be) accurate. Many reviewers just assume that the Fobo is accurate but, as anyone who works on vehicles knows, air pressure gauges can produce wildly different and inconsistent readings. The only way you will know if an air pressure gauge is truly accurate would be to check it with a calibrated standard - probably at a government standards location but who has access to that? I have six air pressure gauges - three simple stick types and three gauge types. Two of the gauge types read far different pressures from the stick gauges. So which one is correct? Are any of them correct? Who knows? However, the third gauge type pressure gauge I have agrees with my stick gauges so my best guess is they and the gauge that agrees with them are closest to being accurate but, of course, they could all be wrong. But the point is, air pressure gauges (including stick types) are notorious for giving different and inconsistent readings. But all we can do is try to find out which gauge is most accurate and consistent and use it. Surprisingly, it appears that my cheap stick gauges are accurate but the two of my gauge type (round) gauges are inaccurate. But we have to make our best guess.Anyway, I decided to order a Fobo but I was very skeptical that it would be accurate. Before installing the sensors, I took readings of my tires with what I think is my most accurate tire gauge. I expected the to see that the Jobo read completely different pressures. Then, since I run my front tire at 38 pounds (cold) and 44 in my rear tire and I've always had good results if, say, the Fobo gave me pressures several pounds off from what my gauge said, I would just think of the the Fobo readings as really being what my gauge said. In other words, I would compensate but I really didn't like the idea of that.To my surprise and almost amazement, the Fobo read .1 pound off on the rear tire and .3 pounds off on my front tire readings compared to my separate gauge. That's phenomenal! And even that tiny difference might change if I simply took a second reading with my separate gauge. In short, the Fobo was reading almost exactly what my separate gauge was reading. Not only was I surprised but I was so happy. It also indicated that my separate gauge is probably accurate.As of now, I am so happy I bought the Fobo. As anyone who owns a bagger knows, to check air pressure, you have to get flat on the ground, check to see where the air valve is, get up, move the bike a bit and try again until you can access the valve. It helps to remove the saddlebag but it's still a pain. And that means that you probably aren't checking air pressure very often which can be dangerous. Several weeks ago, my bike seemed to slip in corners - almost as if I was on ice. Sure enough! It turned out the air pressure was off by about 5 pounds in the rear tire. But now I can check the air pressure without all the hassle before every ride.There is one thing I don't like about the Fobo. That is that the app says it needs to track your location ALL THE TIME. That makes no sense to me and the explanation in the manual does not make it clear why that is the case. Nor do the explanations in the Q&A section here. But the solution is simple. First, set your permissions so the location is tracked ONLY when the app is being used. (If you deny location tracking completely, the app won't work.) When you do that, the app will complain that you must set it to ALWAYS track your location. But if you just hit the cancel button, the app works fine despite what the notice said. Also, the app can't be on when bluetooth is turned off so if you don't need bluetooth on when you're not using the app, just turn it off and no location tracking can take place. In fact, if you don't want real-time TPMS while riding, you can just check the air pressure before you ride and then turn off bluetooth which turns off the app. That's up to you.Again, I will update this review if I run into any issues. The one thing I will watch carefully for is leakage at the sensors. After all, they are pressing down on the core of the air valve so it's very important that the seal on the sensor is good. And since you have to remove the sensor to add air, the seal could wear over time. A solution to that would be to get one of those double air valves so you don't have to remove the sensor to add air. I may do that but only when I change tires and re-balance them. I do that myself. From reviews, the sensors themselves don't seem to affect wheel balance noticeably but that double air valve probably would throw off balanc.

Funkar kanon bra är mycket nöjd

I bought one for my bicycle, then got another for my wife's bike, then got one for my scooter, then got another for my wife's scooter. Four two-wheelers, four FOBOs, no issues at all. Installation takes 2 minutes. I created FOBO accounts for my wife and myself, added all the four FOBO pairs to my account, then shared all four with my wife's account. Now we can both see our pressures from anywhere. The only (very minor) issue is that the first phone to connect gets the readings, and the other phone has to wait for the first to disconnect. I don't care. It's nothing worth sweating over. The alarms can get a bit annoying but Android lets you snooze them for an hour. Overall, I just love these. They take the mental stress out of tire maintenance for me.

Been looking at these for a while. Really happy with how easy to fit and set up. No more fear of getting a puncture and having an accident because a tyre has been deflating on a trip.Good work.

This system is an excellent way to monitor real-time tire pressure. Screw the sensors on, download the app, pair the sensors and you’re done! The little plastic lock nuts to secure the sensors on the valve stems are a nice touch but annoying to have to back them off to adjust pressure. (They require a special plastic wrench that you need to carry). Set the low pressure alarm and put your phone in your pocket. If you lose pressure, a VERY LOUD alarm will get your attention. If you’re anal about adjusting tire pressures, you’ll want a handlebar mount for your phone to keep an eye on things. As the bike has to move a bit to “wake” the sensors, setting pre-ride cold pressure is a bit of a pain. Spares in the box include an extra set of sensor batteries, an extra lock nut wrench and a thoughtful pair of split rings to attach the wrench to your keys. Great value, well executed and cheap insurance against a tire-related emergency.
