AdamR28 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Just a note on those hoses, they will make your lever very slow to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Just a note on those hoses, they will make your lever very slow to respond. They do slow em down a bit. Best combo I think is normal hoses with braided crossovers, if you have a problem with breaking crossovers that is. Run your normal hose a bit longer and they're okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomnia Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I already run longer crossovers. They always cut at the end of the metal fitting going in the hose... I also wanted just to change the crossover to a braided hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wanted just to change the crossover to a braided hose No I didn't mean longer crossover I meant the other hose. Braided crossover with longer normal hose is the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomnia Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Okay. Got it! Adam do you offer those braided hoses at tartybikes? Could not find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 The plastic magura hose is the proper stuff for the job, simple as that. Magura brakes are designed to work with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) The plastic magura hose is the proper stuff for the job, simple as that. Magura brakes are designed to work with it but, some people have massive problems with clipping their ankles on the crossovers, causing them to split. not fun mid ride. braided crossovers should be considered a viable and sensible upgrade if this is a persistent problem. EDIT: although a larger booster could well help too. Edited December 26, 2013 by Ash-Kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 got to say that i didnt rip a single brake hose on a hs33 yet,they held up fine. a saddle keeps things secure i think lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've never torn a crossover off, make them the right length and it can be avoided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've never torn a crossover off, make them the right length and it can be avoided I've found regardless of length it's still possible. It happens when you have your feet at awkward angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've only ever split the front one removing my bike from the car. My rear hose is cable tied down to the frame, it'd be impossible to hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris H Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've never torn a crossover off, make them the right length and it can be avoided Correct length of cross over? If the cylinders are mounted and you knock the shroud or barb with you're foot it will snap/damage it. Can I have an exact measurement for my cross over please? I want it perfect!

insomnia Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Is your crossover mounted on the top holes or the lower ones? How do you tie dhem down from the top holes?

Martin Reynolds Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Is your crossover mounted on the top holes or the lower ones? How do you tie dhem down from the top holes? i run a splitter, means you can run the hose so much more out of the way. see : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the cylinders are mounted and you knock the shroud or barb with you're foot it will snap/damage it. Can I have an exact measurement for my cross over please? I want it perfect! Can't remember. I did it so it just sat outside the frame where the tyre runs, not over long but no sharp bends where the barbs or shroud are. And always run it on the underneath, shroud and bleed bolt on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomnia Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I see! Your build looks mint! So splitter + lower mount + brakebooster shows an solution. I'll try this one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
