pure Nitrogen also leaks out faster, as it is missing the fatter molecules of the other stuff.

Agent Orange, it's not as hard to come by as you might think.

true about the 80% thing. also, the 'nitrogen' machines that they have a most garages are just air 'dryers'. the moisture in the air wont permeate the rubber and damage the belts.
anyway, i put that in my tubes. just thought i would share.
i also ate a peanut butter and banana sandwich and drank one of those nestea vitao green tea and fuji apple 10 minutes ago.

I just changed the old summer air I had in my tires to some fresh new winter air. I thought about using nitrogen but decided it was a waste of time.

This came up a while back.
Some Auto racers run nitrogen in their tires because the tire pressure changes less as the tires heat up. That is important for a four wheeled racing car, but I don't think it matters to us.

I know about once every 5 years or so, some major bike magazine tests helium in tires. They always find the weight difference is negligible.
