I agree that a vastly larger volume, than typical bike tires have, will mean that the natural pressure loss will be less noticed. However, I have attributed natural loss much more due to higher pressures (2 to 5 times more than most cats need) and thinner amounts of rubber between the pressured air and the outside air. Andy
