Cold Tires...

Alright, so I've got a problem... winter is coming fast, and as the
temperatures drop, so does my tire pressure. I was told filling the tire
with nitrogen rather than air would help, does anyone have any input in
the subject?

Thank you for that...something I have suspected, but did not know...and
I never buy the add-ons, either.

Rather than give you a link without any explanation as to why I'm giving
you the link or any hint as to what it contains (which I see more and
more of in this forum) I will simply tell you that, no, it won't help.

Air is 79% Nitrogen.

100% Nitrogen will escape from your tyre slightly more slowly than air
- but you will not notice the difference over a period of a couple of
weeks.

The pressure in your tyre will change even during a ride. Riding warms
up the air in the tyre and increases the pressure slightly.

Check your tyre pressure with a biodigital gauge before each ride.
(That means pinch it between your fingers.)

If the pressure appears a little low, this can easily be rectified
using a pump. Make sure you use a bicycle pump, not a water pump, heat
pump or a pair of pumps.

If the tyre goes down with air, you can pump it up. If it goes down with
nitrogen you have pay to top it up. Pumping up the tyre every now and
again makes no harm really.

i dont know why you'd put nitrogen in your uni tire, since you'd just
get a snake bite pop anyway, and it'd leak

i have no real comment in this thread, just that i hate trials in
winter, since your tire pigs, and its hard to bounce.
