My Beach Cruiser Tire Pressure
It's been quiet in here lately so it must be time for a stupid thread about tire pressures. In my experience, bicycle tires lose 1-2 psi every day. It's been 3 weeks since I rode my cruiser and the bike has been stored in an unheated garage with some very cold night time temperatures the past couple of weeks. When I went to top the tires off today at the normal 60 psi, I was very surprised that they were sitting at about 55 psi each. Maybe a random Chinese assembler sneaked some extremely thick and non-porous tubes inside my Chinese tires?

When it's cold out everyday, some answers why tires may lose less pressure over time in the cold weather can be found in the thread below.
