A solution in search of a problem especially for the price.  I also wonder about how it affects the balance of the wheel.

Just link it up to the whitecrow hub and you'll never need to think again

maybe

I can kinda see the point of the shockwiz.

I can even kinda see the point of those whitecrow hubs (they're like a dropper post for fat bikes).

This? I'd be interested to see what data it generates, is 0.1psi accurate enough to measure a tyres 'sag'? Does it have an accelerometer to differentiate between a sharp rim dinging hit and a smaller blunter one? Can you hook it up to a power meter and determine the optimum pressure for rolling resistance ?

I suppose the hardware is just the same as a shockwiz so maybe it's just an easy thing to develop rather than an actual need.

I might get one for the road bike. Actually, what else would I do with the money? Might as well get 10, one for each tyre.

seems late for an april fool.

I guess they'll sell a few to people with way way more money than sense, but its not for me.

Given the long rambling threads about getting the right pressure exactly for each tyre and claims of being able to tell when it's out it should give your a ready made excuse for a bad run, just exit the trail, whip your phone out and remind everyone how you were on for a KOM but your rear is 0.3PSI down which meant it slid out and you were one click of HSC off for the trail.

Can't wait for the SaddleWiz.
