Came across this while wandering the interwebs and thought dropping one down your seat tube or inside your head tube might be an effective tool to protect your pricey ride…

Ha Ha Ha you said caulk.

Seriously though I have looked at this too. I wish they weren't disposable though.

Reasonable price too, 4 for $50? I've heard of similar things to these, can't remember what they were called

I think this was discussed recently on the board.

Unless this device reaches a critical mass (like every iPhone owner having them) then it's help for fining a stolen bike is dubious at best. A small GPS tracker device would be much more effective.

If it can give you an alert to the tile moving I could see this being useful if you are locking your bike up to go into a store and get an alert if the bike is being tampered with. I could see that being useful on a pair of skis too when going into the lodge.

Given the limitations of these things I can't see them being useful for a bike other than finding it outside of a bar in a drunken stupor!
