    is it actually losing pressure? you know the presure drops every time you attach the pump.

    yeah i know that, i noticed before i went out on saturday and i pumped it up but it has dropped again when i checked it tonight. I set the sag at 25% and i would say it has dropped to about 40% i rode the kielder trail on saturday which has quite a few drops and jumps if that would make any difference
