Good stuff. So do you have any pressure loss anymore with the NO2? If this is all I need to fix my tires I am happy as can be. I thought I would get the answers I was looking for here. Let me know,and I am all for it.
If I use NO2 and I do need a topoff, Do I use regular air? You guys

as soon as you put air into no2 tires it all goes away the new air destableises the no2

So good to hear it is not just me!! I get in fights with hubby every single ride over this same thing. He doesn't believe me each time we saddle up and I tell him I need air in my tires. My bob loses probably 3 - 5 lbs a weeks, too. I am a firm believer in these tires are the only thing between me and the blacktop so they need to be in great shape.
Thanks guys for giving me something I can show the hubby to show I may not be a loony girl making up tire issues.

Me coming from a racing background I can tell if a tire is low by 2 lbs just by taking the first corner. So losing 5lbs is like riding a flat to me. I am just super picky. My bike rides great with these tires and the difference in how the bike feels with 40lbs and 32 lbs is huge. You arent crazy,a low tire is a bummer for real. Also by keeping your tires inflated to the higher end of the rating for the tire will also minimize the front tire getting all chopped up later in its life. It will wear evenly.

I still have the question out there to wideglidebob. Did the NO2 cure the pressure loss completely?
