I doubt that you cracked the tube. The sound was most likely the worm drive hose clamp stripping and popping as it does so. We use a non-perforated hose clamp because normal hose clamps damage silicone hose. They perform well and look good; however, they do tend to strip easier than the standard perforated clamps because the worm drive screw has less to engage as it tightens. Let me know what the verdict is and we will get it taken care of.
BTW, we did order some more of the "orange" hoses. Here's the "orange" hose story...They were actually supposed to be red, but came out more orange in color. At first we thought we would have them on the shelf forever, but then one of our IOM customers decided to go with them to see how it would look. Meanwhile, we worked with our vendor on a color change and now have the deeper red hoses to go with the Victory red cars. After we told them to make sure they never used the original red formula, we had to go back to the original red formula in order to get the color that looked good with IOM. All the while we are told we can't get orange hoses!
