Screen shot of the app.  I've tweaked it a bit after the initial install.  If you change the parameters of the settings, you have to re-set the sensors.  Again, that took a minute or so to tweak.

I like it.  Simple install, simple operation and it works as stated.  Also, with the factory order, they included two extra batteries in addition to the ones already installed.  Not too shabby.....

I'll post in a week or so after some use.

Isn't your rear tyre low, Haird?  Should be 36 front, 40 rear, no?  Or is the RUSE different?

They are actually both a bit...good catch.  We've had a large temperature change in the last few days (much cooler) so they were needing air anyway.  This was a screen shot just after install before I added air.  It was the information that came up showing me I was correct in knowing I needed to add air.  I should have taken the screen shot after I had pumped up the tires but it was exciting for me to get something like this and it actually works instead of having to put it back in the box to return it for a refund like some other items I've ordered.  Now if there was an update to the sensor where you could add air without having to remove the sensors.....

For all those chrome addicts out there, you can purchase chrome replacement covers from FOBO for $6 ea.  They screw on in place of the standard silver or black cover.

They actually make a T valve that you can add air without removing it. Just have to change out your valve stem which is a PIA.https://my-fobo.com/Product/FOBOBIKE#buy

I saw that on their site and yes, it would be a pain to change out.  However, that did answer my concern about removing the sensor every time.  I'm not sure I want to go that far yet....let's see how they work for a bit.  So far, so good.  I'll have some miles on it this week so we will see.

Just ordered, thanks!

Bought the T valve as well. Need a rear tire anyway so figured I could have them install valve when changing tire. I didn't use the locking nut when I installed because it was to much a PIA to get sensor off when adding air but now will lock it down. Not as worried about theft as I am it spinning off.

Had to top off my tires and found it impossible to fill with the lock on the stem.  The T valve appears to solve that problem.  Next tire change will include adding that option. $96 for two stems seems a little steep.  Anyone see them sold elsewhere?

They charged me $12 per plus $6 shipping

$96 for two stems seems a little steep.

The $48 you see there is the price for 4, so $12 each.

I have had to submit a email to the FOBO site.  The (install) process does NOT work for me.  I downloaded the full set of the users manual and read thru the whole thing.

Installed the FOBO app to my smart phone and started into the process.  First of all,  I do NOT respond to any emails via my smart phone.....I use the smart phone to "review"  whatever emails I have coming in.

So,  the (acknowledgement) or whatever they call the "next step" in the new user process,  calls for you to acknowledge the email they send you and then re- log on to the app.   I did that via my PC and next thing I know,  I get a (second) email on my PC saying that (another device)...........was used...........so here is your second acknowledgement.

Whatever,  I finally did get the app to go further.  It showed me the bike picture which I clicked on.  This gets you to a screen where they ask for the bike "name".   I gave it a name,  and the next question (same screen),  says "tire pressure"??

So,  I went with PSI and the F for temperature.  Now,  (same screen) is still asking for some input on the tire pressure.

WHICH TIRE..................FRONT OR BACK.............??  No reference given   Where on that screen can you put the tire pressure (front or back) that they are looking for...........I can not get any "field" on that screen to take any input other than the top line where it asked for (bike name)............So,  I ended up with (two ) bike entries.........One named blackie and the other named blackie 36.

This is all after 28 yrs working for a software company.  My aptitude is mechanical,  but clearly my mind does NOT line up with most all those that are programmers.  I would have made a fantastic software "tester"..........exposing the shortcomings of the lack of "user friendliness"......................
