Hi All
I always find that the rear tyre loses 5-10 PSI over the course of a couple of weeks riding, whilst the sidecar and front stay pretty constant.
Is this because it's the driven wheel and the forces it's subjected to? Does anyone else see this pattern before I go ripping the Tyre off and replacing the tube (which was new when the tyre was changed a couple of thousand ks ago)?
I've checked the valve and ensured its tight in the valve stem thinking that could be an issue.
Cheers!

Not related to where it is fitted. I had one a couple of years back that kept losing pressure and it was my spare.....every time I checked it there was only 10-15 psi.
Tubes are hit and miss these days unless you go for the real heavy duty. The pretend rubber is rather porous in some.

Mine only loses pressure when it isn't ridden - I guess it is the bikes way of telling me off?
