Remember when you get home to deflate and re-inflate your tyre with a track pump. Co2 leaches out of the inner tube a lot faster then normal air does.
I want to see what it does overnight. I checked the pressure when I got home and it was 105psi. I topped it up to 110 with the track pump. I'll check it in the morning.

If your topping it up anyway, you'll be ok.

i carry a CO2 set up always on my road bike for the sake of weight, space and simplicity :smile: then at home i have a lezyne track pump with gauge which is excellent so when i run flat on the road i will just fix the punc**re or replace the tube on the road and blow up with CO2 and then as @ianrauk said, deflate tyre when i get home and inflate again to the measured and correct pressure with normal air through the lezyne track pump
Cheers Ed

This morning, it was already down to 95 psi. The co2 leaching was just as bad as expected.

No matter, I discharged the tyre and pumped it back up. Better to do that with a track pump than a mini pump!
