Stupid question #471

[RWright]

I check mine every 2 or 3 days.

Same here. I give them the pinch test before every ride.

 

[JoeyB]

I now know to top them up before each ride. The slightest drop in PSI seems to massively increase rolling resistance from my experience so far.

 

[citybabe]

I will top up before each ride

 

[TonyEnjoyD]

When they seem a bid sludgy on the MTB I am commuting with, and before any ride on the roadie

 

[ACS]

Sunday evening, when I check the commuter over for the next working week.

Other bikes the evening before I use them.

 

[Billy Adam]

Check tyre pressure every week on the commuter - and also inspect the tyres for "debris" that might work through and cause a visit from the puncture fairy!

You said the p word.

You said the p word.

Hahaha 6 bar on mine

 

[Buzzinonbikes]

Before every ride on the roadie but my commuter that runs at about half the pressure seemingly NEVER loses pressure *touch wood*

 

[Shut Up Legs]

For leisure ride I top up before every ride.
For commuting, once a week.

Same here, and I commute over 200 miles a week. I pump both tyres on the commuter bike to 90psi front and 95psi rear on the weekend, and I barely notice any softness in the tyres by Friday.

No visit this morning. Maybe she didn't hear me!

 

[Cycleops]

In just top mine up, usually about once a week but sometimes longer. Butyl tubes stay up longer than natural rubber

I find there is not a lot of difference but I do have a butyl tube with a Woods/Dunlop valve and that does stay up longer.

 

[DWiggy]

Sunday after cleaning & Wednesday for a top up, usually loose 10-20psi by this time.

 

[Wigbank]

Right. On the wall of my tyre it says 87psi min 110 max.

I have a track pump with pressure gague. Front tyre went up to 100 psi no worries. However Icouldnt get a reading for the back and am now worried I've over inflated the rear tyre.

In this thread wigbanks strong retaration is strong!!

Let down the tyre a bit and re pump
