[QUOTE="jmgrif, post: 1191080, member: 17460"] Not sure if I missed the time between pressure checks? I had one sudden loss of air pressure in my front tire caused by an angled valve stem of the rubber base with the bent pipe style! I found out rather dramatically that over time the centrifical force bends the valve stem and eventually the rubber weakens and tears where it is being pulled. Instant deflation at high speed, at first I thought I was being hit by a sudden strong gust of wind. I now have Ariette's! I did follow a friend who had picked up something in his back tire causing a slow leak while riding and as the tire gradually lost pressure the tire over heated and delaminated! No road side repair that time. [/QUOTE]
