Does this happen to you?

Well, I'm pretty sure it's happening to everyone, it's just the rate
that varies. The air pressure inside the tube is much higher than that
on the outside, so some air will want to get out. It will find tiny
little cracks and will use them to escape. I think some may even
diffuse through the walls of the tube, but I'm not too sure.

I usually pump my tyre every two weeks or so. I like to keep it at low
pressure.

Every 2-3 hours probably means a bad inner tube.

And I'm all over the place here.

It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards

yeh slow puncture. make sure you carefully feel and look round inside
the tyre for anything rough or sharp that might puncture the new tube
aswell. also if you arent a weight saving freak you can cut up the old
tube and use it to line the inside of the tire to improve future
puncture resistance.

when you can get a tube for £2 it's hardly worth the time and effort.

umm, what exactly was the point in that?

Slow punctures are sometimes worse, could well be a dodgey valve which
is unfixable. My coker has a slow at the moment associated with valve
damage but it only needs pumping about once a week, so I'm leaving it
for now.

Why not get an extra tube so if things do get worse, you could change it
on the spot instead going to the shop and paying for 1 and then coming
home to replace it. 😄

£2 is what, $4? It takes me about 10 minutes to properly patch a tube
(find the hole, rough the surface, apply rubber cement, cut out a
patch, wait for cement to partially cure, apply patch, presto you just
saved £2)

In terms of £/hour thats like working for £12/h and most of that time
is waiting for the glue to get tacky, not to bad eh?

there's also the risk of accidentally nicking the tube when refitting
or missing another hole, leading to another 30-40 minutes of work to
dissasemble and find the hole. And that assumes it's not a slow,
several day puncture which is very hard to find or that the rubber
cement hasnt gone hard since the last puncture repair...plus im kinda
lazy and fairly well off at the moment. i will fix punctures in the
middle of nowhere or if i happen to have the whole afternoon free or
something.
