Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Today my mate was having a go on my bike trying a power hop but he pulled the lever to hard and now he split my hose on the tube that goes from one piston to the other. i was wondering should i get a monty hose splitter or just slide my hose on and have it shorter? cheers Edited April 9, 2007 by mission1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flas12345 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 you could fix it yourself by putting the hose in a vice and tapping the barbs into the hose, it is quite hard to do but its ok, but i think that you would be better off buying a new cross over pipe from tarty.cheers lou.

mrturner08 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Do it your self all you need is the hose ,2 barbs, a vice, a hammer and same washing up liquid. first put the hose in the vice so it sticks out about 1 cm, not to tight that you crush it but so it don't move about, next put a little washing up liquid in the hose, push the barb in with your hand as far as it will go. hold the barb straight and tap it in till its touching the vice pull the hose up 1 cm and tap the barb the rest of the way in now cut the hose to the right length and repeat with other end. hope i helpedpAuL!
