Tim/Trialsin USA Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Cross over pipes have just arrived. Very nice product, thanks Tim!Fred.Good to hear they got there OK, and not abducted by the malicious Icelandic biketrial swallow en route.First production run is long gone...... not to worry, next batch is due to arrive in my hands in a week. Sourcing things locally is always a bonus in time savings and quality control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I generally run a booster, so I'd have to kick like a mule to damage a cross-over. Plus I'm guessing Plaz don't make these in a U-brake format, so I'm shit out of luck in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantham Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hey guys, just though i'd say I've been running one of these cross-overs since the start of september, before I was running hope braided cross overs for around 2 years which i swore by and wasn't too keen on changing to anything else. But after using the plaz cross over i'm glad I changed. The main advantage over the hope ones is that it still has what seems like the standard magura barb fitting in there, making installation so much easier than the hope one, It prevents the cable for twisting up, I needed to people to keep the hop one straight. Also the other problems I had with the hope one is that when i knocked them on the side of rocks etc they would spin loose, no such problems as yet with the Plaz cross as it's prevented by no tension being built up when tightening due to the barb fitting.Overall an ace product, the hope one is very good to in my opinion, but the plaz one is just easier to use and less problematic.
