yes ferret, I am glad I went thru all of the trouble.. I really like the looks of them and they seem to work well.. I now carry a plug kit and co2 filler.. after sleeping on the rubber liner issue, I am leaning towards just removing it.. this will happen at my next tire change.. I may also apply a 3rd coat of the 3-m 5200.. it doesn't take much to do it.. just mask with electrical tape and use an acid brush to apply.. mounting and balancing are included in the purchase of the tires.. I take one wheel at a time, have the dealer pull the old tire, take the rim home, apply the 5200, let it cure for at least 24 hrs, take the rim along with the new tire back to the dealer, and its then mounted and balanced.. easy-peasy.. haha chuckk j.

In terms of the valve sensors, how long do the batteries last?
G.O... I am testing battery life as we speak .. the batteries don't seem to last too long.. the good part is they are pretty cheap and can be replaced easily .. I installed new Duracells feb. 13th.. the battery monitor on the iPhone shows they are still in good shape.. the batteries that came with the FOBO were not very good, I feel.. the FOBO failed, I installed the extra batteries that came with the unit.. still the unit failed.. I had purchased the FOBO for another bike I had and the FOBO was over a year old.. so the batteries that came with the unit may have lasted 6 months, I guessing.. you can buy packs of cr2032 batteries cheap, but you just might get what you pay for.. now I am testing the name brand ones.. I am sure they include cheap ones in the FOBO kit.. after installing the new Duracells the FOBO works great.. I love it.. before every ride, I just click on the FOBO app when I am close to the bike and read my pressures.. very cool.. chuckk j.
