Regardless if you have a tube or tubeless wheels, 1 item worth considering is a TPMS?

Fitted a TPMS on my CFmoto 650MT in China, and just fitted 1 to my converted spoked tube wheels (now Tubless as the Doc advise how to do?) on my Honda AT here in Thailand.

The TPMS will warn you if as little as 1lb pressure is lost.

So even with a tube fitted if there is a problem you will be warned before it becomes a bigger problem IMO.
And even with the greatness care repairing a tube, you are not 100% sure until you re-fit the tube and wheel back on the bike that all is ok?.

But having a TPMS fitted within 2 mins of riding of you can see from the pressure readout all is fine or NOT?

Just my 10 cents on this matter.

Good idea, but do you get TPMS just for bikes? The ones I saw were all for cars and look a bit bulky. Mounting space is a real issue for me
