Tire pressure equalizer ? ....

[HayRog]

.... I believe I've seen this dual hose system somewhere on this forum ?

Can anybody point me in the right direction please ?

I see this ( link below) one on the web, but am trying to spend a little less.

There are a couple of vendors here on the forum that carry them, but they're about the same price. http://spyderstore.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63&product_id=54

An earlier thread a member made his own and posted the results; you might want to search the forum for it.

I made my own and really didn't find any advantage over a good pressure gauge and a single air source.

Yeah, rethinking this now. Your realization has already been made clear to me by others.
My tendency to overthink by trying to simplify - LOL

I bought the one from Spyderstore (CnC Machines) and it works well on the Spyder. It is a timesaver and for that reason I like having it.. However, I have been disppointed that it doesn't seem to work on any of my cars. I don't understand why because the stems look the same but for some reason the connectors don't make a connection with the cars' valve stems.

I made my own from from bit from Amazon and Aliexpress. Mine has clip on Tyre chucks but they are a nuisance so have ordered 2 screw on chucks. I made sure the hoses were long enough to do the car too.

I bought one of these for my Spyder. It clips onto the stem VERY easily and doesn't allow any release of the air inside. I keep it in the Frunk.

A bit off topic, but it looks like an interesting product https://www.amazon.com/Rhino-USA-Digital-Inflator-Pressure/dp/B076H8QBK6

Try JTs Spyder Store:http://spyderstore.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63&product_id=54

I use FOBO Bike 2 on all 4 fittings and works great to monitor pressures.

That product is an interesting idea - but is it really necessary?

Just curious - How high a difference in PSI between your two fronts do you tolerate before evening out the 2 tires? I know that perfectly equal is ideal, but who often are they perfectly equal? So how close is good enough for you?

 

[HayRog]

Ideally, I like them both even. But after a day in the garage the pressures differ by up to 1.5 lbs anyway, due to the proximity of the bike being nearer one hot wall.
A losing battle
Therefore, buying an equalizer is probably a waste of money. I'll buy Frappuccinos for 2 for at least a week instead :2thumbs:

I didn't want to pay $35 for an air gauge so I bought this one www.amazon.com/dp/B07647FJ9J/ref=ss...uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
from the same people.

Temps Cold-- then after a ride ... I like them within 0.5 psi like the manual says.. but then I'm a little OCD

I just use a portable air tank with the tank pressure about 20-25 psi to balance them out about once a month, about how often I wash the bike. I don't need to, but thats what I do

I also made my own and don't really see an advantage over a good gage. By the time ya hook it all up and dink around, you can easily just inflate one tire or the other to get them equal. I posted a thread about making my own a couple years back....got beat up for posting it because another member was making and selling them. I made one that did the same thing for far less so I got pumbled here.....LOL.....No big deal...Easy enough to make, but honestly not worth the fooling around. Feel free to search for the post......I think it was titled "Made my own dual fill" or something like that....

I like the digital readout cuz my eyes don't always focus close enough to read an analog face that closely. It's real easy to slightly over the tire then let out air down to the desired psi. I had the tire shop overfill them with Nitrogen then went riding to get the feel of 20 psi and then dropped 1 psi, ride, drop, ride until I got to 17.5 psi and that's where they've stayed for the last 3 months.
