Higear Airgo Cirrus 6

Hi everyone I hope someone can help. The middle beam of my cirrus 6 loses about 15% - 20% of its pressure over a 24hr period. If I open the isolator valves air runs back into middle beam from other beams. It is only middle that goes softer. Where wold you start looking for the fault? The filler valve? The connectors? Or the air tube itself? Can you get spare air tubes?

Yes, check the inflation valve is properly seated: it’s quite easy to get the fly sheet fabric caught, which will cause a slow leak.

Thank you Tim. Sounds a good place to start. Is it worth replacing the rubber 'o' ring too?

I have tried to get support from Hi gear and Gooutdoors but their support and advice is non existent.

I’ve not needed to, but check for damage and dirt.

Unfortunately go outdoors don’t sell spares for their own brand tents and neither do the manufacturer so it will be a repair I’m afraid. Looked into this when we purchased and it stopped me buying what I saw was a decent tent.

I’d look at the joints between air beams as this is the weakest spot. I’d remove the beam so I can put air in and submerge it in the bath to see where the leak is.

Thank you for your info. They do sell spare tubes.
https://m.gooutdoors.co.uk/search/go?view=grid&ts=m&w=Air+tube

However I cannot get anyone to tell me if the air tubes are interchangeable. Presumably the end away from the valve could be folded over to give correct length - but what about the diameters?

Thanks

That link is for a search for air tubes, on the G.O. mobile site. Even taking the "m." out (of your link), thus giving a search on G.O.'s main website, the search results still don't reveal replacements air tubes.

Similar or related searches (on G.O. website) proves similarly fruitless. Bicycle inner tubes and replacement tent POLES yes, but not replacement air tubes.

The shoddiest of posts from me!



Good find, on your part.
