JackC123 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 The person who I bought my bike off made their own crossover, that is alot longer than the standard ones, so I have chopped it down ready to fit. But my local bike shop are complete wankers. I have been waiting for the standard magura bleed kit (which has all the clamps etc), how can I fit it without all of the clamps?I know this is more of a common sense thing but I would just like ideas.Cheers, Jack.

Dan6061 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Make sure you cut the end of the crossover nice and straight, then hold it in boiling water for a while to soften it up.You really do need the clamps in a vice to make it easier, seeing as you need to tap the barbed fitting in with a hammer. You coulld get a wooden block, drill a 5mm(?) hole in it, cut it in half, then use that to clamp the hose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
