I know that i have a leak but it just seems strange that it deflates to a certain point then holds steady instead of going completely flat.

Nope no medal needed. I was just trying to figure out if people thought tube or tire?

good idea on the cotton ball.
thanks to everyone else of the smart alec responses. I know it was probably not one of the best/ wittiest posts but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this type of situation and if it was tire or tube.
sorry to waste people's time. I will just have to stop riding it and pull the tire and take a look. 75 miles in 2 days
