Have any of you used this ? Is it secure for the airtag ? We’re affraid it won’t be safe enough and might break the Airtag, even if it seems to be one of the best options to hide it.
What do you think about it ? Where have you put your Airtag on your bike ?
Thanks !

That’s a dumb idea.
If you flat you’ll probably destroy the airtag and the wheel will be imbalanced possibly leading to speed wobble. You also need a really wide rim to even fit it.
You can just put it in a random place inside the frame instead with some double sided tape.
It’s not an anti-theft device. If the thief has an iPhone, they will be notified within hours that an AirTag is traveling with them.
I would be worried that it’s too visible. Personally don’t want a bright pink thing on my valve, and an experienced thief might be able to recognize it and rip it off before it’s of any use to you.
I have a 3D printed mount that holds the AirTag between the frame and bottle cage. Out of sight out of mind and even keeps the AirTag dry/clean. Was like $5 on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/de-en/listing/1249644440/
All you need is longer bolts to compensate for the thickness.
Looks like a good idea
This makes no sense. The sealant needs to travel through there. Is this an actual product or a concept? Do you have a link?
I like their stems. There’s spare parts, a number of o-ring options. The caps even seem to be machined out of metal.
the dumbest possible spot for an airtag. mucoff sucks
There are simpler options.
Stupid.
Their regular tubeless valves already clog enough. No thanks.
I’m using this for a while now and it works great. It is not the regular place to hide an Airtag. And on the outside you won’t notice it. People won’t look inside the tire but they will check all hollow parts first.
I use it on my gravelbikes and mountainbike.
If this is to track thief’s with your bike, are you really brave enough to confront them? Police also won’t help you unless they physically can see them
Is this a sex toy?
Have one and use it. after the winter, the battery of my AirTag is low and I‘m not really in the mood to pick through sealant to replace it 😂 Probably best to not get cheap batteries for this particular AirTag
It‘s as annoying as you might think but it‘s the last place I‘d look for an AirTag.
I can still feel my AirTag through the sidewalls with 42mm Teravail tires – you should use something beefier. Obviously better for MTB tires. MucOff recommends even narrower tires as a minimum.
Also, I didn’t disable (= destroy) the speaker and you can hear it when moving the bike after a certain amount of time – so you should disable it before putting it in there.
I‘d probably not get it again.
But haven’t had any problems with clogging (I‘m using NoTubes, MucOff‘s sealant sucks)
