And here is where you show ignorance. I can't speak for the UK, but there are standards in the USA, and I'm fairly certain that Germany has DIN standards covering tire pressure ratings and blowoff pressures of bicycle tires. Certainly, reputable manufacturers maintain their own standards.

The fact is that you have absolutely no credentials to debate this, and are basing your conclusions on having read one or two articles about pressure.

Had you limited your nonsense to a discussion of practical or recommended pressures this thread would have ended long ago, but you insist on saying that the marked ratings are lies while offering zero by evidence, or citing a single authoritative source.

Meanwhile you speak of confusing people, but you're the only one confusing anybody. The OP asked for help understanding how/why his tube blew off, and a number of stepped in to address that specific issue. You OTOH chose to make it a jumping off point for a nonsensical rant about the markings being silly, and folks who accepted them at face vaue being gullible.

All this did nothing to help the OP understand how his tube could have blown due to poor seating, or other things in his control.

Long ago I added the Alexander Pope quote below my signature, but if I hadn't done it then, I probably would have done so now.
