Hysteresis in tire tubes is a new one on me! I'm familiar with the effect in electronics and it's kind of similar to inertia: not a resistance to change specifically but rather a delay in change. Sort of the opposite of compliance.
Aside from that... Mutato came with thin inner tubes (Michelin?) that leaked 3-5 psi per day regardless of whether the bike was ridden or just standing in the garage!
I went to Contininental heavy-duty innertubes when I changed tires and the leakage is down to 1-2 psi per week. Big improvement! It saves a lot of pressure checking during a day of riding. :wink:
