Thank you guys for giving very useful informations. After researching for almost two weeks, I bought a Steelmate TPMS with internal sensor. Should be delivered this Sunday. Looking forward to it.
Same for me - hoping that I can still get replacement sensors (when batteries go bad)There is an internal option.
I'm using the Orange M202 with internal sensors. Had it on 2nd bike now. Works great and as far as I know dead on accurate on internal temperature and pressure.
Hoep you report how it works, or doesn't. My system will die at somepoint and I would like to have another internal monitor to use in it's place.a Steelmate TPMS with internal sensor. Should be delivered this Sunday. Looking forward to it.
From what I know... nope! At least not for me. I have the 1st generation, the 2nd generation M202 system/sensors they say is not compatible.Same for me - hoping that I can still get replacement sensors (when batteries go bad)
My 1st gen did not like the new sensors that I bought from Taiwan a few years back, so they sent me a completely new 2nd gen system. This has worked flawlessly and it has a much better screen than the 1st gen (easier to read). The original sensors still work, but will eventually die. If I cannot get new sensors I may try to open them up and replace the battery.From what I know... nope! At least not for me.

I think our only distributor (RR tools) gave up on 'em.
Sucks! I like my unit.
Sounds like the same brand I use!I use a special blend that has 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon, plus a wee bit of water vapour.

Yeah it's be interesting to know the guy's reservations. I went with external mainly for the ease of installation and that the internals (or most of them) called for replacement when the battery died instead of just replacing the battery.T_C said:Nope, never heard a negative. I bet he hezrd a story about somebody who had a cousin that once knew some who heard from their best buddy about an issue that a friend of mine had.
Sounds like a carb vs fuel injection comparison. I can work on a carburetor, yeah, but I don't need to work on modern fuel injection.I went with external mainly for the ease of installation and that the internals (or most of them) called for replacement when the battery died instead of just replacing the battery.
