limitations, the main one being that the inner diameter is too small to allow it

steer loader where its narrower appearance is actually superior to the official
Lego tubing. It stays on the connectors pretty well (I've had it there for a few
months now) only popping off twice in that period not due to pressure but due to a
slight stretch over time. Pushing it back on in this case worked fine. If you have
the strength to push the tube all the way onto the connectors I think this would
happen less but I've yet to be able to do this :-)
