Yep, I got this problem too. When I bought the bike, from the 
beginning the tires had this loss of pressure. So I got new tubes by 
warranty. But that didnīt help. Now I got new tires and new tubes, 
and the rear tube works perfectly (no loss) but the front tube always 
loses approx. 20 kPa, sometimes after only two days standing! 
Fortunately, I got a filling station only one km from my home, so 
refilling is no problem, but when Iīm on holidays?! 

Anybody, who got a solution to this problem?

Ciao,

Marco
