dannyspeed Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Just got my sensors fitted. A few local tyre fitters that i rang didn't want to touch them. But I found a place up for the challange and got the sensors fitted and tyres balanced for £40, which I thought was very reasonable. The display works very well and changes between tyre pressure and temperture every 30 seconds or so. Very good bit of kit that I would recommend to anyone.

Kranz Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Has anybody who is not utilising the valves any idea where they are going to bond them to the wheel and what bonding agent? You can't just bond them as they will eventually work loose and rattle to f**k inside the tyre! You need to strap them down to the centre of the rim using some kind of metal strapping system. There are two types I know of, Ligarex and the Jubilee clip type (that I posted about eralier in the thread). Another option may well be the metal industrial strapping they use for shipping items in crates or on pallets???? Stick it to the rim with heavy duty double sided sticky tape (No More nails does an excellent one) then strap it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Has everyone fitted these with the "big jubilee clips", or have some of you fitted them using the standard valve mounting? I'm curious as to the reasoning behind the "jubilee clips" are you concerned that the valve mounting won't strong enough, or is it a case of resenting purchasing the valves each time the tyres need changing? Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Mike, I know a few people have to keep the tyre valves they've got, as they are special fitments/sizes for split rims for example. I'm going to fit mine with the valves; I don't get through tyres often enough to worry abuot a slight cost increase but at the same time I don't need to wonder if the no more nails is holding up.

Kranz Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 but at the same time I don't need to wonder if the no more nails is holding up. The double sided tape is there to cushion the sensor against the rim to prevent it fretting and working loose......the big jubilee clip will be doing all the work of holding it on It'll need double sided tape between the sensor and the jubilee too. No more nails double sided tape is best as it is about 2mm thick, very very sticky and also compliant so it will squash/move instead of damaging the sensor. Personally I'm using the supplied valve as it will fit in the hole. Looks to be very well made and plenty strong enough to hold the sensor.

SteveR Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm sure that done properly the tape & massive jubilee clip thing will work, I'm just paranoid about things that could go wrong, going wrong. I wonder what forces it could be under particularly if someone went for a drag-stlye tyre warm up; lots of sideways forces which aren't necessarily accounted for by a jubilee clip/tape combo?

Either that or Ligarex, or maybe the steel strapping stuff they use for heavy items on pallets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco79 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 As long as the sensor is mounted on the valve and angled so it is close as poss to the rim , there is no reason it should get damaged on a tyre change especially if the tyre man is experienced with tyre preassure systems, least that's what my garage told me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Right I'm having a nightmare finding anyone who will fit these for me, I've tried a number of my usual tyre fitters all of who won't touch them. Anyone got any suggestions? Animal - have you found anyone local to Preston yet? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
