I almost postive that its the tires that are causing the flats as I always top off the air before rides(right around 75psi, per sidewall marking) and thinking it might be the rim I ran a light and my finger down the inside but couldnt find anything sharp
Have you actually identified punctures in the tube and objects that have penetrated the casing of the tire? Simply losing air could be a tube with a loose valve or a slow leak with isn't uncommon with brand new or cheap tubes.
