Accurate, replicable method of measuring ski flex
Hello, I'm new to the forum, so please forgive my ignorance, but - jumping in, has any analysis has been completed on how the weight of the rider effects flex? I mean, someone builds the perfect ride and then passes it to someone else who's 10kg lighter and 20cm shorter and now it sucks - they don't...

PVC hose vs Fire hose
It's the pressure, if the washer is short on surface area or not tight enough, it becomes the weekest link and the fabric is likely to tear. Just in case anyone has the wrong idea, the pressure is increased slowly when testing above. Hope this helps.

PVC hose vs Firehose
PVC hose is ok, but it's worth checking the reality of pressure rating using a metre of hose. Tested a piece of PVC hose to destruction today, I was SURE the bolts would hold.
