Removed "road or" because that makes the question too broad.

| Dec 29, 2016 at 13:39 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | @Criggie - No way could I go two weeks without airing my tires. I generally run them about 100, and in two weeks they'd be down below 80. And this has always been the case, with multiple bikes, multiple tires, multiple tubes. (Generally around 35mm.) | |
| Dec 29, 2016 at 6:49 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | I find that after 2-3 weeks of 20 km/day its time to add some air. If you're pumping daily to get back to riding pressure, then you have a slow leak. Could try a new tube, or you could add some sealant assuming the valve core is removable. | |

| Dec 28, 2016 at 21:27 | comment | added | Christian Lindig | How do you measure the actual pressure? If you are using a stand pump, the pressure gauge is usually at the bottom and there is a quite long and initially un-pressurised hose between it and the valve. | |
| Nov 29, 2016 at 12:27 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | I will add that I was on a multi-day ride about 20 years ago, and the first or second evening encountered a guy changing out the tubes in his bike and his wife's. He had some fancy new tubes that were supposed to roll better. Two days later I encountered him changing back to the old tubes, as the new ones leaked down in 12 hours. Some tubes ooze air much more rapidly than others. | |

| Nov 26, 2016 at 14:18 | comment | added | Batman | Its hard to say -- the result depends on the tire and tube (if you're running one) and valve. Most people will need to re-pump up their tires every week to every few weeks (lower pressures) to every other day (higher pressures). At that loss, you're doing fine. | |

| Nov 26, 2016 at 13:44 | comment | added | David Richerby | How much is considered normal is a perfectly reasonable question but this isn't the right place for collecting lists of people's experiences. | |
| Nov 26, 2016 at 12:38 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | I would say that 5-10 PSI per day is about right, for a road tire at 100 PSI. I figure road tires need to be refilled about every three days. 75 PSI for a 32mm road tire is on the low side, but at such pressures I'd guess you'd still be losing 2-5 PSI per day. At such a low "normal" pressure you'd want to be even more diligent about filling the tires frequently. | |
