This will take a long time, perhaps 3-4 seconds, maybe 5 seconds if you want to ensure it’s perfectly aligned.Īfter which, you’ll go ahead and pump up the tube like you normally would. Once it’s removed you’ll take one of the TyreWiz pods and twist it back on the valve. Ignoring the rocket-assisted removal, the process to take out a valve stem only takes a few seconds. It’s impressive actually, it left the kitchen and shot about 8 meters away down a hallway. I found out interestingly that if you don’t do that and remove the valve stem that your valve stem will eventually depart the bicycle with the speed and fury of a Falcon 9 rocket. First, let out the air in your tires, or at least, some of it. Which gets us right to that stage – removing the valve stem from your tubes. Of course, removing valve stems is hardly new, so if you lose this little thing you can use a wide assortment of methods on YouTube with varying degrees of success. This tiny little doohicky allows you to twist out and remove your valve stem. Within the box is a somewhat important tool, the valve stem removal tool. There isn’t a one sensor version of the package, which makes sense because monitoring only one of your two wheels doesn’t really make a lot of sense. And if you have a three-wheeled device…well, so does my 1 year old (just kidding). In the event you have a single-wheeled contraption (looking at you, Ed), you’ll be able to equip two such contraptions. The TyreWiz kit comes with two sensors in the box, for your two wheels. Since it’s not a super complex product, I’ll try and keep this post as streamlined as possible. So I figured I’d dive into all the details on how it works, and perhaps more interesting how I think it could be leveraged down the road. I’ve been trying this out for the last week on my rides, and have come away pretty intrigued. From there the unit then transmits your tire pressure second by second to your head unit, be it a Garmin device or a Wahoo ELEMNT/BOLT, or even just your phone. These small sensors attach to Presta tire values, so basically most bike tires that this target market would care about (mountain, road, fat bikes). Today Quarq announced their latest creation – the TyreWiz, which monitors your tire pressure on your bike.
