Adam-Griffin Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 i' never actually tried it before but in theory it should work unless the hose is thiner than the brake wire your trying to put through it Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andeee Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 spongy as a water soaked stoat!Right ok? Well basically i just wanted to see if i would have a better front brake by running a inner cable through a hosing ive noticed these fibrax cables are a bit similar with the hole space and snuggness to run a cable through.

Dan6061 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Just get a Odyssey Slic cable. You're not doing barspins, so I don't think a linear is necessary.Outer brake cables have a metal coil, whereas Magura hosing is simply thick plastic. Obviously the metal is a lot harder than the plastic, so it'll be stiffer.So, as said, it will be horrible. Don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 i had a braded hose and when i tried to get it bled the shop couldn't do itnot sure why though never mindjackMaybe they didn't have the facilities or know-how.Not every bike-shop will be able to bleed Magura's. If they're a Magura specialist, then i'd question why they couldn't do it too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
