Currently my commuter is a voodoo cx bike. I have been running cx tires on it since I started riding it 6 years ago. However, I am having issues with tire pressure, especially the rear wheel. I can't get it aired up as much as I'd like. When I do get it filled to the pressure I like it stays like that for the first 30 minutes of the ride then it starts losing pressure.
It might not be a slow leak because there is a threshold that it hits where it stops losing pressure, or so it seems. I'm wondering if I get road tires, will I be able to put more pressure in them. Right now my back end stays kind of squirrelly around fast corners because I can't keep the tire pressure as high as I'd like.
It has been forever since I have dealt with bike components of any sort and I have no experience with road tires at all, never even ridden a bike with road tires on it. I'd like to get a really good set of tires for commuting in a city with tons of pot holes. Tons.
