How tight should rings be?
Bit concerned about some rings I got today - the tube diameter is 5.09", and the rings would SEEM right, and are felt lined, but when tightened, the bolt goes through too far on the other side and runs out of tightness against the other side.They HOLD the tube, but you can physically turn the tube in the rings, and you can slide it (with a little effort). I am concerned that at high altitude settings, that the tube may slip.
I will endeavour to find some tighter rings (won't need much), and may add in another layer of felt for now, but how tight SHOULD they be? I know not "tube bending" tight, but how far?
