There should be pressure in them all the time, otherwise they can slip and tear of their valves

40-45 psi seems to be the recommended pressures to leave in the tubes (per Procomp Narre Warren) regardless of the pressure you run in the tyre. The idea is to keep the bead of the tyre pressed hard against the rim This stops both the tyre slipping and the tube slipping. The idea is to stop the tyre being pushed off the rim, so having it only 2 psi above what you have in the tyres anyway is pointless (possibly why they get a bad rap from some ppl)

I've run 40/8 psi with no dramas....

I run mine on about 40psi also. I always run them about 10psi higher than my tyre presure. ;)

Cheers Mick.
