basher Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Look in the wiki for bleeding brakes, water is good and wont freeze now we past winter.Put the pipe in a workmate with about an inch sticking out, and tap the fitting into the end of it carefully.

_Owen. Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 If its snapped right at the end, then cut the barbed fitting out, then cut off the broken bit of your cross over. Then put the end of the cross over in a vice and wack the barbed fitting back in with a hammer. Re-bleed with water, and jobs a good'un. Your cross over will be slightly shorter, but itl still work. If its not snapped at the end, then ignor all that and the best thing to do is get a new'un. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsGilly Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Prob best to buy a new cross over! You will need a bleed aswell, be careful though if you dont know what your doing, can become rather tricky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgzGU! Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) hi there,i dependes were about it is burst, If it is at the end of the cross over u can fix it but if i am right in thinking u need a vice to do it and a big hammer. If you have a local bike shop that deals with trials bikes they will manage to fix it no bother.Craig Edited May 17, 2008 by czarcraig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get them for any sort of bikes, Just with evo mounts not 4-bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) weeeey me and my fellow shez riders are like experts in cross overs as we fcuk them all the time lolagebassicallllllllyyyyyyyy.... step one: cut off the croos over left on the barbed fitting2) make the end of the cross over (snapped bit) a clean strait cut with a stanley knife or summit3) find a vice (school or whatever)4) find a philips (the one with w cross) screw driver and boil some water5) put the snapped end of the cross over in the bioling water for about 15 seconds6) take it out quickly (cools down very fast) and twist the screw driver into the end, not all the way... just to widen it abit7) now that that is done you need to find this vice, something you can tap the barbed fitting with and some boiling water.8) once again put the snapped end of the cross over in some fresh boiling water for like 15secs again.. maybe longer.9)very very quickly put the cross over in the vice long ways (so alot of cable is being held) with the snapped end of end sticking about 2cm out of the vice.10) the barbed fitingshould go in a lil (thanks to the screw driver) to get in place, the gently tap it into the hosing, holding the hosing so it DOESNT bend... it should just go right in, then you sortedyou may have to do stage 5-10 twice... but you get the ideayou put it in boiling water to soften the material, otherwise it sometimes splits, bends or the barbed fitting just wont go in.if you dont know how do bleed or dont have a bleed kit then say and ill tell u the fastest and easiest way with out the kit... you can do it on rides aswell..... water only though.. but water is alot nice then oil anyway... trust me!if you realy have trouble with it and dont ahve the money to let some dumb ass local shop make a mess of it for you (trust me they will)... ill do it for you, will take me like 10 mins, so jus send it over, the brake aswel if you want me to bleed it and ill do it for free... iv like badly damaged my ankle and cant ride so got nothing better to do... plus dont worry cause iv been a bike mechanic for like 2/3 years.. lolits up to you Edited May 17, 2008 by adrian@eastcoasttrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
