its pretty bad out there. I used to get punctures like once a month in the summer, almost always from glass. I got some nicer (but slightly skinnier) tires and now I haven’t picked up a noticeable puncture like that in ages but now they just leak their pressure down in under a week so I’m not sure whats worse. (bike nerds: is this because I’m using schrader tubes? my bigger tires seemed to hold better but they didn’t need 60psi)

It’s my anecdotal experience that schrader leaks more air at higher pressure than dunlop or presta but every other day seems like maybe you dinged your valves somewhere along the line or have a slow leak
mine probably need some air like every other day but it doesn’t get truly bad until its been like 5+ days.
its very annoying. Makes me want to go back to having like 2.75" wide tires that only need like 30-40 psi. These aren’t even that small, still 1.75" I think, but the leakage is brutal. I’m too lazy for this

My presta tubes need to be aired up every week, I think it’s a consequence is higher pressure tubes (60-90psi)
