    Went out to wash the bike today after my long trip to Reno and Back. Started to wash the bike and found this in the front tire. No telling how long it was in there.

    Pulled it out and ready to put a plug in it then ride it down to get replaced. Or put air in it and ride it down. Checked the air pressure and it was at 34 PSI, down 4 pounds. Been a couple weeks sense I checked it. Yea I know check it weekly. Just before I left on the trip to Reno had a rear tire put on it. Checked the rear tire and it to was down 5 pounds.

    No air coming out, put soap on it and no bubbles of air. Went for a ride then came back and checked it again, no lose of air.

    get all leaks fixed, and go with nitrogen. this time of year it really helps keep pressures consistant.
