Oskar Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hey, im tired of kicking and snapping my plastic magura crossover so I want to get I braided one instead. Tarty and CRC only have a complete set so I will build my own.This hose: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?modelID=2938But witch fittings is best? Magura or Hope?Magura: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1526Hope: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?modelID=3258What do you guys recommend? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_b Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 tartys will make you up one using hope parts if you ask. You have to run a water bleed with this. I'm running unex as i can use oil (better for your brake seals etc) and it's been great. And i got 2 for £10 from supercycles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Hope. Seen the magura ones (on a unex hose actually) dig into the hose itself and split it! Defeats the point really.Edit: Do you know if you'd need the 5mm or 6mm fittings? Might do the same...

Oskar Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 why cant i run royal blood with the crossover braided??I think it is 6mm for the crossover, M6 and 6mm is the same thing right? I didnt really understand that talk about unex, is it a brand of hose or something? Becouse I will run the Goodridge hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becouse I will run the Goodridge hose.yep unex is a brand but they do all the fittings etc and supercycles make them up for you. Tarty's have told me th hope fittings and hose are narrower than the normal magura/unex hosing. I would just have unex if i were you, much easier than doing it all yourself.
