i followed the link too, but seems really new, i couldn’t find a price for it!
How much are they? IMHO that’d be the biggest innovation for tire pressure sensors. I’d love to have them on my mountain bike, but I don’t think it makes sense for me to spend $200 at this point.
couldn’t find a price yet, hopefully they aren’t so expensive like tyrewiz!
atm, the connectiq app isn’t available for the new Garmin devices like 1040, epic 2 or Fenix 7
99 EUR found a german site:
I just double-checked the price of Quarq’s TyreWhiz, 185 € on bike24.com — a piece! That’s 370 € a pair, because I reckon you want a pair and not just one.
no, there are for sure 2 pieces:
Included in delivery: 2 sensors w/ batteries
but not on stock

Sorry, missed that. Still, 185 € is a bit much. This’d be great for half the price or less.
Tirewyz are saving the air pressure in your Fitfile, think AIRsistant don’t save it, but AIRsistant also measures the temperature, but is it really important to know the temparature of your tires?

@gpl @dcrainmaker there comes a review comparing Tyrewiz/AIRsistant/ SKS Airspy, especially tested with Connect IQ datafield?

The other thing is how the info is surfaced: probably you only care about tire pressure in two circumstances: (1) when you inflate or deflate the tire to a certain pressure. And (2) when you are suddenly losing pressure. Are head units accommodating both use cases?

Yeah, I poked at the AIRsistant sensor stand, they didnd’t seem too interested in anything either. But, I think for $99 for a set I’ll try and find a place to buy a pair and check it out. Looks like SKS are a few bucks more $60/per wheel.
But I’ll toss it on my to-do list. As @gpl noted, both companies seemed completely ambivalent at Eurobike.

I’m considering getting some, but I’m having a hard time deciding, the Tirewyz are probably the best choice, even though they’re the most expensive.
In the SRAM app you can definitely see the data in the activity file, but can you also see it in Garmin Connect?
Flat tire near the end of a 2 hour ride:
Noticed the tire felt low at about 35psi. Switched to my Garmin data page with tire pressure and slowly kept riding for about 5 minutes until it dropped to 25psi. Then walked 10 minutes to the house.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. That might be a very niche product. Virtual Cycling in a none democracy with a sketchy approach to human rights
That’s about half of what Quarq’s TyreWhiz costs. Price-wise this is getting more interesting.
Did anyone say anything about alerting the user of a flat tire? Because in my mind there are exactly two instances where I want to know tire pressures: (1) When I change it, e. g. I might deflate my tire for a rough trail. And (2) when I have a leak.
That was my first thought. It would be nice if I could monitor the pressure on my Edge 830. If it would pop up a warning when the pressure drops below a set number so one could stop and address the problem instead of suddenly having a low tire or flat unexpectedly.
unrelated to this post, but regarding your instagram story of the garmin edge explore music widget. would be awesome to have this on the 530/830, is something like that just a firmware thing gamin could do if they wanted to or a hardware thing?
Over a year ago I picked up a 3T Exploro RaceMax and someone (mountainrunner) on the forum suggested getting TyreWiz. I ride outside 4-5 days a week, so figured “why not try it I can always return them” and to be honest after using for over a year I don’t care about low pressure alerts. Certainly not a deal breaker.
True story - earlier this year my wife was driving me to a century ride and the car ran over something and it made a thump a thump a thump a thump and went away. We looked at each other and said I hope the tire is ok. Then we started feeling something, and the light on the dashboard still hadn’t turned on. I said pull over and while slowing down the light finally came on. Maybe about 20 seconds start to finish.
Anyways, the TyreWiz is clearly something I don’t need. I also don’t need a lot of other stuff on my bike like electronic shifting, a saddle bag, radar, power meter, etc.

And it shouldn’t be hard: my Wahoo just warned me this morning that the battery in one of my shifters was low. So they could just re-use that dialog.
