So went for a ride earlier...
 

So as the title says i thought i would go for a bimble, so set off and got about 5 miles and thought the bike was a bit "Whishy Washy", The bike felt loose at the back is the best description. So I thought "low tire pressure that's what that is!".
So i pulled over and checked the rear wheel, I could almost touch the rim if i pushed reasonably hard. So i thought "Crap, Best get home quick." so after a tricky ride home to get 40p and a rather scary trip to tesco for the Air Machine.

Turned out i had 6 PSI in the rear tire :S
But its fine now i have 32 PSI...

Note to self: check tires more often!

it's 36psi rear and 33psi front for the SV.

Are you sure you don't have a slow puncture / dodgy valve?

Don't rely on the machines at garages for an accurate reading as your tyres will be warm. Best to check pressures when cold.

Must be something wrong there mate, you could leave a bike standing for years and it wouldn't lose that much pressure.
As above, check the tyre and valve over thoroughly for any leaks/foreign objects. And yes it's 33f 36r

I have a compressor at home so i can do tires at home it was just because i was out and about i needed it now, plus it was all locked up, I will be checking the tire later when im not busy.
