Installed my Orange Electronics TPMS

[BadNews]

So I've ordered and received the M207 (Advanced version) from the Taiwanese seller on eBay. There is no manual in the box. I've sent a message via eBay to the seller to ask about that.
How are the sensors fastened to the rim? I had the previous unit M203 on another bike but can't recall how the sensors were fastened. If they rely on the valve stem to stay in place, then I can see using the valve stems that are fastened in with a nut over the rubber press in type. How are your sensors fastened in?

Yes, the M207 sensors attach to the valve stem via a small screw and the stem is in turn secured to the rim with a nut.

So is it logical to assume that a rubber valve stem would not hold tight enough to resist the centrifugal force generated by the additional weight of the sensor? I have the Dill VS950’s in hand and was hoping to avoid filing the rim if possible.

They make rubber ones with the little brass bit for screwing the sensor on. I don’t think the weight of the sensor inside the tire would cause a problem or they would supply those.

Doh! Why didn’t I think of that?!!

Thanks!

Finished installing my Orange Electronics M207 TPMS system today. The manual states that the accuracy is +/- 1 psi, and I can vouch for that. I installed using the Dill VS925B valve stems. The front fit with no modification of the rim; the back required some minor filing of the center ridge.

well my rear is giving me an E2 error message.

(funny that i ordered the stem already from advanced auto. in store next day from local warehouse. i thought i had a stem issue, i did the nut was loose that makes 2 nuts loose on the bike, right?)

so i found the manual for the m203
