(1 stars) reviewed on 02/25/08 by Chich (chichimus) from Castlegar, BC, Canada, for a 2006 750 Shadow Aero wrote: had them on my truck. only three 'worked' as one leaked from the get go. Put them on in the morning and came out at the end of the day to a flat front tire. Pumped it up and you could hear the air escaping through the cap. sounded like a good idea but after that I do not trust them. UPDATE: since I had the other three I (like the fool I am) put two on the back tires a few months later. They couldn't all be hooped eh? $#!@ came out to ANOTHER flat tire. Took the cap off, pumped up the tire, put it back on and the same as the first one. Fortunately both failures happened in the yard but I use the truck on the back roads. The remaining two will be tossed in the junk heap. Review Details  7 out of 8 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

But the problem is that they don't actually work. Countless times I could feel my handling was a bit off, saw the "Accu-Pressure Safety Cap" in the green (ok), only to find when I applied the gauge that it wasn't. I even bought the 32 psi for my 29psi tires, because they only drop from green to yellow at 4lbs under, so that if it went below even by 1 lb, I'd want to know! Wouldn't you? The only thing worse than an underinflated tire, is thinking it's fine when it isn't! This false sense of security is worse than not knowing, because it keeps you from getting down there and checking it with an accurate gauge and getting the pressure up there where it belongs. This has happened so many times, that I now just think of them as a colorful and expensive valve cap! Now that I think about it, they have NEVER shown when the pressure has been low, in a year and a half and 10,000 miles... Review Details  5 out of 5 members found this review helpful.

Too good to be true. Update -- 06/21/04: My front cap always shows Red, so I swapped it with the back one. Front stayed good & back one turned red... I could actually hear the air escaping and can feel a breaze from the top of the cap. Called CruiserCustomizing and was told that they'll ship me out a new one. You guys ROCK! 06/03/04 Good idea since most of us don't check our air pressure anyway. Review Details  2 out of 2 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
