Hi Guys,
My tube has developed a problem the last time we were out. One of the rings of the bladder has expanded and created a bulge (images attached). The tube is 5 years old but I honestly believe we have looked after it so well and it is in really goos condition and on really gets used a few times a year. I got in touch with O'Brien to get some advice but they have just said it was either pumped up too hard and/or left in the sun. My brother had a problem were he did do this so I have always been really careful.
My question, has anyone come across this before were it has failed unreasonably? Got any advice? Have I just made a mistake and pumped it up too hard? Appreciate any input/advice.
Cheers
