So I had posted back a while ago trying to get some help in the garage area on why my bike's handling randomly went haywire. I didn't think to check the tire at the time because it looked fine at first glance, I was focusing on the forks and bearings and etc. etc.
Well I happened to check my tire pressure today after 2-3 weeks of not figuring out the problem, and the front tire pressure was EXTREMELY low. I could press on it and force it in.
Well then... that is the problem. I figured maybe I had been extremely careless letting my tire pressure get low, somehow.
So I filled it to 36 psi today, and everything was back to normal. Great. Awesome.
I rode around quite a bit afterward and everything was great. I got home, let it sit for about 4 hours, and then took it down the street. On the way back I noticed that all of a sudden the handling went back to how it had been the last couple weeks, instantly. Just like it happened the first time.
When I parked it the tire pressure had gone way back down again.
What IS that? What is the problem? If the tire had a leak I would think it would slowly leak out, not all in a single moment. Plus not all of the air is out, just a significant amount.
Looks like I'm going to have to take this into the shop, unless one of you has some clue as to what the problem is/how to fix it?
