I've been using a Size Matters tapered tube for at least 10 months now. I take it places with me in a backpack and use it at least 4 times per week, the acrylic is still in great condition.
I know Mister B and Size Matters are similar price points, so I would personally recommend the Size Matters tube because I know how well they hold up(if that brand is also available to you).

Re: Does anyone have tried mr b cylinder ?
I've not used Mr B cylinders. But I can't recommend the Size Matters ones. I've had 3 of their tubes and all of them broke after less than 10 uses. 2, 2" tapered cylinders cracked after only 6 and 4 uses between those 2, and a tapered 2.25" that cracked in the first use. That one I did fix with super glue, but about 2 months later the same spot where the male connector meets the tube that cracked on the 2" ones, also cracked. And none of those tubes could hold pressure after any of that. They use cheap plastic or I've had lousy luck. I take really good care of my gear too. So it's not even like I abuse them, use high pressure, or any of that. I'd recommend spending a bit more to get a quality tube so you don't have to deal with similar QC issues. Mr B cylinders might be better for all I know though.

Oh wow! Well I've only got experience with my one and only 1.75" tapered tube. So your 3 bad experiences outweigh my good one imo. Maybe I won't recommend themPumperSoCal wrote: โMon Jun 24, 2024 3:26 pm I've not used Mr B cylinders. But I can't recommend the Size Matters ones.

I could have also had lousy luck too, but I also read a lot of reviews after the fact and I also wasn't the only one having that same problem with the tubes. But that's all I use now are the LA pump, tubes.PumpingAus wrote: โTue Jun 25, 2024 10:11 pmOh wow! Well I've only got experience with my one and only 1.75" tapered tube.
