rab shropshire Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 you can make a crossover quite easy, as long as you have some hose and 2 barbed fittings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 just buy some cheap magura hose from tarty and bang it onto the barbed hose ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyboi Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 any tips on streaching the hose over the nipple? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Get a block of wood, small enough to fit in a vice. Drill a hole in it the diameter of the magura hose. Cut it in half so you have two semicircle parts. Clamp the hose in these blocks. Hammer barbed fitting into the hose. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) i think i heard somewhere, to heat the barb hose end up so it goes into the plastic hosing easier. oh and make sure its on straight to prevent leaks Edited October 30, 2010 by trials owns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyboi Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 hi, thanks tried both the hose keeps sliding through the wood, even without the hole and tried heating, it worked but now leaks lol, il have to get some more pipe now then try both again thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 you need to make sure the hole through the wood is smaller than the hose, otherwise it won't clamp it. another tip is to put a nipple on the end of an old spoke, then put the barb onto the spoke, then put the spoke down the hose and hammer in hitting the nipple. This makes sure it goes in straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
