(Didn't know how to fit the question in the title)
Why does my REAR latex tube lose air MUCH faster than my front?
Front wheel: Enve 5 (Smart, 650c); Rear wheel: Renn 555 650c (narrower than the front wheel)
I have changed tubes (I just use 700c latex tubes and kinda "insert" one part to another -- found that tip here in ST as well), and it consistently happens.
No problem with the race itself (I pumped in the morning (before 6 am), and it was okay for the whole 90km bike ride, which I probably ended 11 am). When I got the bike AFTER the race, they were still fine (using the pinch-o-meter). But the next morning, while the front was somewhat soft, the rear was nearly flat (maybe 10 psi), and two days after the race, the rear really is flat (but the front is still in the somewhat soft stage).
