Hammer is always the best optionhammer is not always the best option
You mean one of these?Hi
I have seen only one tool in a bike shop for the correct insertion of the hose barb into Deore/XT and XTR hydraulic lines.
Does anyone know where i can get one of these, hammer is not always the best option
Thanks for looking!
Will work on any brand. Grip is adjustable, and driver point is tapered....Thanks folks, to all the colourful answers
Bear to Bear, do you know if this is brand specific?
Given standardisation in the bike game is non existant
Absolutely ^^, this is what I do also. 'But' if young mate doesn't have a vice - you can use a pair of multi-grips as your vice, rest the edge steady on your bench an gently tap in your barb. Sounds rough, but it works all the same.:madgrin:What's so hard about the yellow hose grip block thing in a vice with a light tap of the hammer?
Not always. sometimes, you have to use the bigger hammer instead.Hammer is always the best option
That is the one I was talking about. The tip can be flipped to cater for screw in barbs (apparently what Avid use but I have no experience with Avid).You mean one of these?

I found the Jagwire barbs went into their lines by hand, if not I was going to use the yellow Shimano blocks that came with some lines I bought earlier. One of these.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Shimano-...749?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item487314c2d5You mean one of these?

I have one of these Jagwire babies in my workshop; it's a universal fit, even including a tiny Torx driver for older Avids with screw-in barbs.Thanks folks, to all the colourful answers
