Martin Reynolds Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Saw this on a website. Get a spoke, and cut the bent end off. Fit the spoke nipple backwards. Then slide the barbed fitting on the spoke, and slide the spoke in magura hose. That way when you clamp your hose and tap the end of the spoke, it holds the barb straight.

mike Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) This is Genius! Out of interest does everyone use the magura hose clamps?(£8) Only I was thinking of drilling a hole through a peice of wood about the same size as the maggie hose clamps, then sawing it in half down the drill hole... or just sanding a grove into 2 peices of wood. Obviously it will need to be around the same dia. as the hose to prevent it sliping in the clamp or damaging the hose. Advice please....

isitafox Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 That way will be fine, I only used the clamps as I bought a full bleed kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
