Why do bicycle tubes lose air over a period of a month or so? I can see cheap tubes losing molecules due to the cheapness of the tube. But a thorn resistant tube that has a thick wall, I don't get it. You do the old spit test on the valve, nuttin leaking. Put the tube in a tub of water, nuttin. Put the tube back on the wheel, it leaks. Maybe this is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe that isn't yet solved. I know one thing fo shoo, someone is stealing my air. Dude is going to pay for 50 or so years of me having to air up bicycle tires if/when I catch him.
