Q: How long does the air last in the pneumatic gearchange system?

Question: How long does the air last in the pneumatic gearchange system? Answer: The valves used are an industrial design and will slowly leak air over time (as used by everybody). Air loss varies depending on many variables, but I would normally suggest a minimum would be about 2 hours from fully charged and normally fully discharged by the next day, although I have seen cars hold air for over a week. There is no fixed time. I am always paranoid that the air will run out on a run and because of the noise in the paddock you cannot hear air leaks at the event, so I charge the air on my car after every 1 or 2 runs to ensure it never runs out.
