While sand inside the PU tubing is a sure cause of line wear, I'd like to suggest an additional cause : Salt ( sodium chloride ) crystals forming from the salt water trapped inside the PU tubing after a session. I expect most riders wrap the PU tubing around their bar ends and store them wrapped, an...

Medium viscosity ( 1,000 CSt ) silicone oil ; lubricates plastics & elastomers well, assists with sealing between moving surfaces, totally benign to pump materials.

Have a look at the very front corner of the strut pockets - Duotone puts a thin white line tied to the front corner of the strut bladder that is fed through a small opening at the very front of the webbing that attaches the strut pocket to the LE pocket. This white string is tied to a small loop of ...

US army researchers investigated the bending stiffness of inflated tubular structures, measured it, and confirmed a theoretical analysis of a pressurized thin-wall structure subjected to bending : the stiffness is independent of inflation pressure, both in theory and in practice. ...
