I parted out "8558 Cahdok & Gahdok," and it had four Pearl Dark Gray 78c13 hoses (with 41 ribs) rather than the 78c12 hoses stated on the parts list.

For what it is worth, mine from that set are also 41 ribs, but I apparently found
them within the slushy range that gets called 12L. I can't go measure them
at the moment.

We've just come across this change. We parted out 8558 in April from a closed
box. To us these look just shy of 12.5L, but rather than force these to 12L
or 13L, is it not possible to change them to 12.5L, and specify that these are
41 ribs in length? The fear is that someone purchasing either 13L or 12L could
be surprised with an either too long or too short hose when neither is truly
correct.

I list those for sale with the number of ribs stated. I hope a customer would
not get too upset, though, considering I often get a rib or two different within
a set. These are apparently cut to length from long tubes and the quality control
is not fantastic.

Mine are short of 13L, but closer to 13 than 12. I have always had these hoses
err long rather than short, but it is true that this one is closer to 13 than
12.

It caught my attention because the Brown 13L hoses in 8595 Takua & Pewku also
have 41 ribs, so I was just a bit confused.

All of the ribbed hoses in
 
Set No: 8595  Name: Takua & Pewku
* 
8595-1 (Inv) Takua & Pewku
221 Parts, 2003
Sets: BIONICLE: Titans
can be verified from the official LEGO replacement parts database, so I would
assume the lengths of the ribbed hoses in that set are correct. Unfortunately,
their database does not have data for the ribbed hoses in this set.

However, if you say that the brown 13L ribbed hoses in 8595 have ~41 ribs, then
we can safely assume that your ribbed hoses that have ~41 ribs in this set are
also 13L. This is also backed up by Jonathan's (member axaday's) data
which shows they are closer to 13L (although he just had them changed to 12L
two months ago ).

Instead of adding an alternate, I will make your request the regular part in
the set after accepting it.

Cheers,
Randy

P.S. Just for poops and giggles, how do these ribbed hoses with ~41 ribs compare
to the pearl dark gray 75c13 in the set? They should be about the same if the
rigid hoses are really 13L.

They're very similar in length; the rigid hoses are only about 1mm longer.
Thanks for the help!
