Tyre Pressure (from the other thread)

Nick, I am measuring them from cold.
Here's the procedure.
Get bike out of garage.
Check tyre pressure (yes I have a digital tyre pressure gauge of my very own).
It's invariably 4 - 5 lbs down on the front and between 2 and 4 on the back.
Take it to garage (200 yards up the road)
Add air.
re-measure pressure next time I get bike out - about 5 - 7 days later.
pressure dropped again.
I have to say, I think it's something to do with the fact that I'm riding on these 208RRs. I've never had this drop in pressure on any tyre before, unless I actually had a slow puncture.
And what about the tread??? Where's you're reply on that?
Leave it till you're sober to answer because I don't want to have to struggle with some uninteligible drivel - (she can bl00dy talk!
)
Hi Ruth
Have you measured the pressures with your digital gauge at the garage, immediately after you have re-inflated the tyres? Check what your gauge says against the garage pump's gauge's reading. There can be a big difference!
(maybe!)
