Dom_capper Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi guys, After cutting out a split in the hose which joins the two brake cylinders together, i'm having trouble getting the freshly cut hose onto the barbed fitting attached to the cylinder, has anyone got any tips?

Cheers Dom there are some special clamps that tartybikes sell in a magura bleed kit which makes things a whole lot easier http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/rim_brake_spares/magura_hose_clamping_blocks/c5p10026.html you clamp the hose into these clamps in a vice and just tap the barbed fitting in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Or you can make simmilar from piece of wood, just drill the hole in it and then use saw to split it in two pieces nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
