My commuter's 700x35 tires get filled on Sunday and Wednesday evenings for my Monday, Tuesday and Thursday commutes. They lose ABOUT 5 psi from 90 to 85.
No issue? Maybe that is the issue: if it drops from 95 to 85 each ride, may it's due to a tiny leak around the valve stem already? And the reason I don't need to pump often may be because my tubes are perfectly sealed owing to infrequent manipulation.
