Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

You cannot pressure test a tube out the tire, so it sometimes make sense o fill the bathtub to about 10" of depth and put the wheel in at full pressure and see where bubbles are forming. Know that the air can migrate between the tube and tire, but if for example, you see a stream of fine bubbles near the valve, the source is close to there.
