12st 8lb isn't light for someone at 5' 8"...

Well if you will go running round with these "size zero" models :blush:

Yup less believable at that extreme too.
It's not so much how thin she is, it's more how tall she is... or rather isn't at under 5'

I did once ( as has already been told elswhere on this forum ) inflate an innertube until it popped.

I also, for interest's sake, took a 'low pressure' 26 x 1 3/8 to the filling station and gave it all the airhose could offer.
Again, a very loud 'pop' was heared for several hundred yards.

Overinflation is best done in a location chosen for it's echo potential.
Alleyway between 2 rows of garages is ideal, or a modern estate with houses close together so as many people as possible can get the benefit :rofl:.

You'll struggle to put enough pressure into a tube with a bike pump.


Really? I've popped at least three when I misread or mis-assumed the pressure ratings (23s that I assumed were 120psi which were actually 100, exploded)

you certainly can put too much air in. i put 120psi into an old tub i was given (tubs usually run at up to 140) and as i walked away it exploded! i didn't notice the 85psi max on the sidewall ;)
