    Have you actually had your tires deflate the next day after inflating them with CO2? Or is this something you heard from someone else?

    I ask because that's never happened to me. I've had 3 or 4 flats and used CO2 cartridges to inflate. I actually went back to using a pump when I had a rash of flats a year or so ago. I didn't like adding to the landfill and when I got a flat both front and rear at the same time (lots of glass on multi-use path in a not good part of town) it seemed prudent to not rely on my limited number of cartridges.

    Anyhow... I suspect there must have been some other reason they deflated.

    PS After the double flat, we found a new way to get to the transit center.
