MajicKwak:
My tyre pressures were changing overnight during the hot spell we had and I tend to check every other day or if I feel it handling a bit odd it's the first thing I look at and it's normally out.
I can normally tell when my rear is out by 2 lbs as it handles a bit odder than usual.
It's supposed to be one of those daily routing checks before going out on the bike.
Andy J:
I used to check mine before every ride, whilst they were still cold but got lazy in recent months. My point here was to show how much pressure can be lost when the bike is standing. You are exactly right and I've learned a valuable lesson

I will have to check mine... though they should be ok as I have only had it a couple of months

[naughty] Ideally check before every ride, failing that once a week at least, or whenevr you think you have a handling issue.

Just get a pencil gauge Glenn and keep it under the seat, no need to go dial or digital.
