Mc Lovin Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Wrap some electrial or duck tape around it a few time's. It will stop you splitting it so many times, My mate used to split his all the time and he just wrapped duck tape around it before it had a chance to split.

wolfie Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 A braided hose will defiantly help prevent your problem. Perhaps you should think about running a brake booster so you catch the booster rather than the hose (only an idea). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshonza Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 cheers for all the replys i havnt got a pic of it but its a t-mag 05 with an 04 maggie and i havnt got a booster if that helps (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-BAD Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 i recon you should buy a booster as the guy above said but before you get one try the 'Tape technique' i recon this would work(Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Get a crappy raceline booster and cable tie you hosing to your frame with a little bit of slack so its not pulled to tight, also means when crank spinning you stand on your booster not your crossova!
