TPMS on Angled Stems

[sennister]

I have a Garmin Zumo 595LM on my 1300 and I know they are not perfect but I was thinking about picking up a couple of the TPMS caps to try them out. I have the Ariete angled aluminum valve stems. I know the say you have to use metal valve stems. So now I am debating on if it is a good idea to trying this with the angled or to switch out to straight on the next tire change. I might do that anyhow but I have a while before that is due. Front might go another year. I will be doing a rear probably mid season.

The stems are like these.

So anyone running these with Garmin TPMS? or bad idea even until I get to the next tire swap?

The sensors on the Hawkshead that I use are supposed to be about the same size as the Garmin Sensors.
I use 75 degree (not sure of the exact degree) metal stems with them and have had no trouble at all.

I have the Ariete (Kurveygirl) stems with the Hawkshead sensors. Never a problem.

Same here, 83 degree Ariete angled aluminum stems, no problem with TPMS caps on an ST, Goldwing, and NC700X.

As others have stated, you will be fine with the Ariete stems. I never installed those, but opted for "T" valves when I bought the Hawkshead TPMS. More info here:

As much as I like the Ariete and Ariete-type valves I went with the T-valves (yet to be installed) because top-offs are more convenient and I'm far less likely to forget to tighten the jam-nut.

Dave, be like Dave, go with the T stems. It's not the worse thing in the world to loosen the lock nut and re-tighten it, but why do it at all?

Thanks for the input. I think I will order the sensors for now. On next tire change switch over to the T stems.

A couple of years ago, I bought a set of TMPS (can't remember the brand) which included a set for a trailer (four in all). My brother and I used them for a trip we did to WeSTOC out in Grand Junction, back in 2016.

He had original straight valve stems, while I had the angled ones. Mine kept miss-reading , but his were always fine!

I've had these valve stems on the bike since I rebuilt it, almost 80,000 miles ago and I think I'll try the Tee stems my next tire change.

And then remount the TPMS and see if I can get them to work right.
