If it’s super cold, don’t they lose air on the drive?inflate tires in the basement with the compressor

Have a bag with helmet, shoes, with extra layers, 2 types of gloves during this time of year and also extra socks
You act like you lived in NC your whole life.okay @RonC you sound like youre worried about the carbon cracking if you leave your bike in the garage too
Basically got this for the same reason. Was tired of looking for things. Pockets are lableled.This, all of it basically lives in my backpack this time of year. After it’s washed it goes right back so there’s no hunting.
I check tire pressure the night before in my basement (typically upper 60s temp). I ever noticed a significant drop after bringing the bike outside into cold air.
so 50 degrees to 30

You keep your bikes in the house, I thought you were a garage guyI’m at 70ish degrees in my house. . So if it goes to 20 degrees… that’s a drop of 50. Stop gaslighting me lol
How much air comes out when you remove the valve, it’s probably 2 psi
You’re screwed
silly rabbit; if you remove the valve it ALL comes out
Suck it

How does temperature affect the pressure in your bike tires? Is it possible to compensate for temperature swings when inflating your tires? Read on to find out.www.performancebike.com
TLDR- I’m not crazy

It warms my heart, that this sort of bike nerdism still has a place on these forums.
For the record, I support the cold weather house-to-the trailhead pressure loss possibility.
I’m tolerant of wearing bibs in the car (straps undone) for short drives to my local trailheads. Anything farther away than Allaire or Hartshorne, bibs get put on at the trailhead, along with the rest of my kit. My preference has always been to make the clothing decisions when I get to where I’m actually riding.
My favorite description of getting dressed for winter riding, is the scene in A Christmas Story, when their mother is getting them dressed to walk to school. The narrator equates it to preparation for “extended deep-sea diving”.
So what do you do about fork air pressure? And do you put in lighter weight oil in your damper in the winter time?TLDR- I’m not crazy
