Seems to me that putting the sensors inside the tire moves them further from the axle, increasing centrifugal effect, or maybe I missed something?
My bad you are correct. What I was think was that when mounted inside the wheel the stem is shorter that when mounted on the outside. Being shorter it is stronger and would be less prone to breakage than on the end of a longer valve stem. Not that they could break a metal stem in either case.
Guess I need to read my own posts more carefully.
Well after finding out that WingStuff is local and after verifying that their store prices are the same as the web prices and they had TireGard's on the shelf I couldn't help myself.
It was a pleasant ride down to Lake Forest. The KLR hit reserve while I was S/B on the 605 Fwy before getting to the 405 Fwy. A block before I got there I found a Chevron station on Irvine Blvd./Trabuco Rd..
The folks behind the counter were very pleasant and helpful. Not a big showroom but being in more of an industrial type building I'm sure they have plenty of backroom storage. If it wasn't for the fact I was out on my lunch hour I would have looked around more but I was a man on a mission.
I can tell this is another place I'll be adding to my GPS address book.
If you don't want to pay a shipping fee just spend a few more dollars and the shipping will be free.
Guess this weekend I'll be figuring out where to mount the monitor on the KLR. For those that can't figure out where to mount the monitor or how to mount it there is another option. I noticed while putting on the caps that the monitor has a vibrate alert beside the visual displays. I'm sure if you carry it in your pants pocket you should feel it vibrate if the alarm goes off.
