FOBO TPMS ???
I just installed the fobo tpms but noticed the sensor is less than 1/8 inches away from the rim.
There is only enough room for two large size zip ties. If I press on the sensor it will touch the rim.
Would this be an issue, would gravity make the sensor to hit the rim?

do you often ride around with zip ties on your tires?
if not, then it will not be a problem.

Not a problem
I've had mine for over 6 months now with no issues at all. If I were you I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy the ride and the FOBO's. Great product.

FOBO
I have had mine installed for about 3 months with no problems, except they seem to register 3 to 4 PSI higher than with a manual gauge.
Any ideas why?

I am having the same issue. Checked my pressure before and it was 18,18 front 28 back, put the sensor on and was reporting higher so I let air out on all 3 tires. Wonder which one is more accurate.

If you only have one hand gauge, buy another. It is always preferable to have a back-up, and they are not that expensive.

Also, I prefer metal valve stems. They never break, rarely leak, and are best to support these types of TPMS sensors.

FOBO pressures
Go into the app on your phone and find in "settings" that there is a option for Enable/Disable gauge pressure. I believe disable resorts back to atmospheric pressure & compensates for temperature or something like that which will be different than your gauge readings.
I have a hand held gauge I checked against a calibrated dial gauge at work and it was within 1/4 psi of it. We have 3 on my F3 & 3 On the wife's RT and they all read correctly once I figured out I was on wrong setting in the app.
Hope this helps instead of confuses you--

I wouldn't have thought there would be too much variation in atmospheric pressure in Florida though, 5legs.

I don't use FOBO as an absolute measure of pressure, but as a warning mechanism. I have found tyre pressures that suits me, and I use FOBO to ensure the tyres and shock remain around that pressure. This was very useful yesterday when I left the dealer after a service and the FOBO showed 29lbs in my rear tyre when I usually run 22lbs. They had checked the rear tyre and adjusted it to Kenda specs.
