No experience with those. I check my tire pressure once a week and I carry a tire plug kit and co2 inflator in the tail of my bike just in case.

^^^^agreed. Not a chance. I see this garbage on cars all the time. They are never right. They claim they change -25%, but it takes way more than that to change them. You will feel your tires the 10 pounds, or more, low long before they change.

O, aight well, i figured just checking them ever so often before i ride with a gauge would be best. Thanks for the incite on these indicators.

Keep a digital gauge under your seat. It takes seconds.
