Has anybody tried these?
Tyre pressure indicator valve caps.
They seem like a pretty good idea to me especially for early indication of punctures etc.
But has anybody here actually tried them?

I’ve used this type of valve cap in the past. The good ones are a little expensive for what they are. They can alert your attention to leaks, and since I commute about a hundred fifty plus miles a day, that can really help. It’s not a replacement for real tire pressure maintenance, just another tool.
Be advised, tire shop guys hate these things, and you’ll NEVER see them once you get your tire back. So you either have to take em off before having a flat fixed, or remember to ask for them back.
I just gave up, and check my pressure often. It’s a shame too, it’s just too easy to do a walk around at four a.m. looking at all green caps, hop in and go!
