If you split the tube or muller the end, simply cut the bit of tube back and try again.With any luck the barb will just slip into the tube Repeat for the other end.You have to cut the barb out of the tube, again a sharp stanley knife and watch them fingers!!!

Concussion Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I once used an old bmx stem to clamp the hose, was a total bodge but got the job done.Heated the tip of the hose with boiling water plus a little washing up liquid for lube?

walker Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 a little trick to make sure the barb goes into the hose square on, reducing the chances of you cross-over splitting at the barb when knocked:Take an old spoke, shorten it by cutting off the bent end, leaving about 4" left. Attach and threadlock a nipple to the threaded end. File off any burs where you've cut the spoke to prevent it from damaging the inside of you hose. The simply insert the spoke through the barbed fitting and the hose so that the nipple sits on the end of the threads on the barbed fitting. Heat the hose with boiling water to make it more flexible if needed. Tap the nipple with a hammer to knock the barb into the hose and hey presto! Heat the hose with boiling water to make it more flexible if needed.Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceman Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 My goodness, the transparent hose really rocks! You could really see the air bubbles (if any), and then you would know when to bleed them.I saw some in the hardware shops in my country. If I'm not using steel braided hose, I would definitely use the transparent hose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
