icom Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I started checking my tire pressure regularly and noticed it loses about 5 psi per week. I fill it to 45 psi each time I'm about 190 lbs, and go about 15 miles a week, does this sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under normal weather conditions, no, but, at least in New York, temperatures have been all over the place. Also note, Mini Pros (in fact, most Ninebot lineage wheel stock tubes) have been known to more easily flat than most. Just take the tubes out, find the leak, and patch; should work wonders (unless the leak is coming from the valve opening, in which case you probably need a new tube) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Also, if you are checking the tire pressure often you may simply be letting out 5 psi throughout the week. When you check the pressure a little air comes out each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll live with it for now.. not sure I want to mess with taking them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no inner tube... Checking air pressure could be the sole reason for loosing air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
