don’t be so sarcastic BS, it’s not exactly a rolhoff speed hub. judging by the size i don’t think it would weigh very much at all, and definitly wouldn’t be an unsprung weight concern. by comparison serious riders make “unsprung” additions like lizzard skins and tube guards which would weigh far more than that little thing.

are you the sort of dumbass rider who thinks drinking water adds unneccesary weight? perhaps you sit at home and measure the rolling resistance of your bearings for fun.

there is a bit of a problem with this idea though: i regularly compete in club mountain bike races and 24 hr events and almost never see someone checking their pressure with a gauge. most mountain bikers just check the pressure by giving the tyres a quick squeeze. anyway – unlike with a car you notice pretty quickly if your pressre is off.

speaking of cars – they already make these for cars. They beep when the pressure gets too low.

Good point about unsprung weight. Maybe this is being marketed wrong. Why not just keep one in your bag to pull out when you want to check pressure. It is smaller than most other guages.
