So we had to constantly checking on it and re zip tie-ing it to try to reduce the radius So this year we want to some 1/8" OD tubing on hand just in case we had a tight area.

A union elbow works very well for these tight corners. I don't like sharp bends in my airflow, but sometimes you just need to get the air around a tight corner.

We use those too when we can. the tight corner was even smaller than an elbow joint, not an ideal area but it was the best place to put a lock for our climber. I think the cylinder was 5/16" so the elbow joint would be the same size as the cylinder. The thing was comical, the air flow of the 1/4" hose was totally not needed for this application.
