Hi
Does anybody know how much air I should have in the tubes in a 6mtr Humber? and in this warm weather should you let air out so they dont pop?
Thanks
When I first got mine I was worried about too soft / too hard but yes the fist/thumb/knee test is as good as any
You can buy gauges but they are quite pricey. I think Ribshop do them. Everything I ever own in the future will have pressure relief valves - anything with dark tubes or tube-top patches gets really hot in direct sunlight and very very hard.

yes! a certain ILB (no names-no pack drill) was popped when they left it out in the sun to pose and rattle the tin and even with pressure relief valves which we have always specced on ours as they are black it makes sense not to rely on them entirely, but to anticipate them warming if you are leaving it where it will end up in the sunshine.
