Can a bike computer really track tire pressure and temperature, or is this just a myth perpetuated by manufacturers trying to sell more units? Ive seen some high-end bike computers claiming to have this feature, but Im skeptical about its accuracy. How can a device mounted on the handlebars or stem possibly detect the pressure and temperature of the tires?
Isnt tire pressure and temperature something that requires a direct connection to the tire, like a pressure gauge or a thermometer? Ive tried searching online, but all I can find are vague marketing claims and empty promises. Nobody seems to be providing any concrete information on how this feature actually works.
And what about the accuracy of these readings? Can a bike computer really provide an accurate reading of tire pressure and temperature while youre moving at 30 km/h? I highly doubt it. Its not like the device is stationary and can take precise measurements.
Im not saying its impossible, but I need some convincing. Can someone explain to me how this feature works and provide some evidence to back up their claims? Or am I right to be skeptical and dismiss this feature as nothing more than a gimmick?
