Has anyone zip tied it to keep secure?

If the rubber seal inside the end of the tube isn't all the way over the flared end of the nipple, I'd think there's a possibility the tube could eventually work itself off the nipple. Best to have it seated 100% on to the nipple.Is this really a problem or just a visual problem. Has there actually been any type of failure. Just wondering if 10 years from now if it wouldn't have mattered if the hose was pushed further or not.
I zip tied mine today because it was at the end of the nipple. The zip tie grabs the rubbery end and the whole line doesn't seem to want to come off anymore.Has anyone zip tied it to keep secure?
PlaceboMaybe it's just in my head, but since pressing the fitting back onto the nipple and adding a cable tie to the end to secure it my 2-3 shifts are noticeably smoother and lack the gear "nibble" that I'd felt previously.
So, hey, that's nice!
Mine took just a little more pressure than what I would consider a light push. Some fluid wept from the end when I first tried, but I gave it a little extra and felt a very satisfying snap as it engaged over the barb.I checked mine today, it's in the middle and doesn't want to go any further up after a girly push so leaving as is.
Almost certainly, but that's fine with me.Placebo
You sure that wasn't the nipple breaking?Mine took just a little more pressure than what I would consider a light push. Some fluid wept from the end when I first tried, but I gave it a little extra and felt a very satisfying snap as it engaged over the barb.
Highly doubt that. It would take way more force than that to break the nipple on the reservoir.You sure that wasn't the nipple breaking?
