I have found that the air in the tire sinks to the bottom. If I leave it too long, I need to fix a half-flat.

For that I buy half tubes. However, if I check on the bike twice a day and switch it from hanging by the front wheel to hanging by the back wheel, the air flow evens out and I save myself the problem of half-flats.
