John, <br /> <br />>We call it a Wheel Impact Detector. It measures in what they call Kips. <br /> <br />kips is an abbreviation of "kilo pounds * g" (g - acceleration of free fall). <br />In Europe the kN (kilo Newton) unit is used. <br /> <br />>Lately we have been changing an average of 10 to 12 wheels a week. <br /> <br />In that case when do you ride? :) <br /> <br />Thank you. <br />Alex
