Update after 3 years.
This cheap sensor might have just saved our lives.
Riding 2-up, pulled onto busy hi-speed interstate after dark and it started flashing a few seconds later.
Saw rear pressure flashing 34psi (where I have it set to warn), then slowing dropping.
Luckily next exit was only a mile away.
Safely pulled off Interstate into a well lit area with 12psi left in tire.
This unit has both audible and visual warning, but I can not hear the warning a speed, so in this case, being dark helped. I have a habit of glancing at the unit velcro'd between handle bars every minute or so during daylight, and am anal about watching tire pressures, but might run an external LED to top of windscreen for easier to see warning during daylight hours.
If you don't have the cash for a hi-end unit, get something, even a low cost unit. You will have a flat.
