Hello Vital MTB!
We've got a new innovation that we think is perfect for mountain bikers and fit tire bikers. It's a pressure sensor built into a valve extension that threads onto your existing valve. It has absolutely no battery and you power it and read it with your smartphone.

It's really lightweight at 5 grams for the sensor, and it works with tubeless wheels and inner tubes that have removable valve cores. Just hold your smartphone up to it to take a reading.

The sensor has incredible accuracy at +/- 0.06 psi for the low pressure 40 psi max model that is perfect for mountain bikes. There's 20 more days in our Kickstarter campaign to purchase some. We need the campaign to be successful in order to have the confidence that there's enough of a market for us to build these in the future, so don't wait around to support it if you like it!

Got any questions? Ask me anything in this thread!

I don’t want a valve extension that tells me tyre pressure. If you integrated it into the valve itself, like car pressure monitoring systems, so that u can’t see it from the outside then you’d have my support but what you’ve done here is just ugly looking imo.

If the campaign reaches its goal, the extensions we ship will be at least 10 mm shorter than the preproduction prototypes shown. The red one you see is way longer than the final version.

The reason we did valve extensions first is that they will work with tubes or tubeless. If we get enough interest in the extension, we will do a valve next.
