    Im completely confused.. just this morning, i filled my torker lx's
    tire, and i got it last week. this afternoon, after about 4 hours of
    riding in total, the tire seemed to be flat. not extremely, but
    noticeably.

    what do you suggest it may be, i let it sit overnight, and nothing
    happend to the tire, but it just strikes me odd.

    Maybe it's a small hole that only opens wide when you're applying
    pressure to it, i.e. riding on it. Happens sometimes.

    Take out the tube, pump it up, cover it with water and start squeezing
    it. The bubbles will help you to locate the hole. Then just patch it.

    be.

    thanks but i have this special sealent that you connect to your air pump
    ( i have an automated one) and it goes inside the tube, and instantly
    makes a thin rubber like layer on the inside, that seals up the holes.

    i just dug it up out of my shed

    Those aren't entirely effective... they do get holes in them,
    sometimes.
