My air checker was doing this tube today and has his regulator was set too high.
Sounded like a bomb going off, I have seen alot of tubes blow up over the years but this one was the worst by far.
He was checking the bottom of the tube when it went so he is okay, just a little bit jumpy now.
And of coarse it was an elliptical because they take the longest to build and are behind.
So if anyone ever talks about putting air in there tubes show them this, it was probably 10-12 psi did this, they are made to hold pressure from the outside in not the other way around.
