If you do a little math for these ribbed hoses, you find out that 1L of ribbed
hose is approximately 3.2 ribs. Therefore, a 7L hose would be between 22-23 ribs
and a 10L hose would ideally have 32 ribs.

The instructions clearly show hoses with 23 ribs and 32 ribs in the 1:1 call-outs
which would equate to hoses of length 7L and 10L.

I also found images of a new sealed set being opened and built, and they seem
to show hoses with 22 ribs and 32 ribs. In the image, I can count all 22 ribs
on the shorter hose (red dots) and at least 30 ribs on the longer hose with a
couple hidden from view (green dots).

Request accepted.

Cheers,
Randy
