Hi,


The bicycle tubes are sealed but can never be sealed hermetically.... in other words some air will always leak (and don't forget that the air is Pressurized). In a period of 2 month (even less) no doubt some air will escape (leak)..... Yes it's expected.  I have some 6 bikes and each week I add some air....
Best regards,

Sounds reasonable.

Make sure you inflate every couple of weeks. More if you're riding long distances on a regular basis.
