James Quigley Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Unscrew the barb from the slave and cut off the hose that is still on it.Then clamp the hose in a viceThe lube said barbed fitting with wd40 or equivalent and knock into the hose with a hammer.Make sure you leave a bit of hose poking out of the vice as it will stretch around the barbs (wont be able to in the vice)Oh and your brake will need re-bleeding.

PaRtZ Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 The lube said barbed fitting with wd40 or equivalent and knock into the hose with a hammer.what? i think you mean "lube the said barb fitting?"in any case he's right. You may need a new bit of magura hosing though if your crossover is now too short... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Get a booster too. naaaaa i have never liked boosters and if your frame can take it i would advise never using one not worth the size for what it does i always got caught on a friends.

Lawnmowerman Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Well it stiffens up the back end making your brake a lot more responsive and powerful and it protects your brake and crossover from damage. You really do need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 naaaaa i have never liked boosters and if your frame can take it i would advise never using one not worth the size for what it does i always got caught on a friends.But the (older) T-Pro frame defiantly cannot take it.

mr_malcolm Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 this might be a stupid question but why were you trying foot jams in your back wheel?your meant to do them on on the front wheel.or at least you are in bmx any ways.

Captain Scarlet Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) I think it might have been a footjam like people without any brakes do to slow themselves down.Just take it into a bike shop and say; "Sort that!", it won't cost you anymore than £15.And as for boosters, T-Pro frames flex shitloads, they are needed.
