Trialtech Sport Hose Splitter V2

Product code: 13572

Updated looks, same great functionality!
Not suitable for directly mounting two disc brake calipers, of any brand, to one standard disc brake lever

This item is NOT suitable for directly mounting two disc brake calipers to one standard disc brake lever, of any brand (Shimano, Hope, Magura, etc) - please see our Magura MT2 Twin Caliper Brake if you are looking to achieve this.

This item is NOT suitable for using two disc brake levers to operate one disc brake caliper, if you are using open system levers (if they feature a reservoir and/or diaphragm).

- High quality, 6061 aluminium, CNC machined hose splitter for hydraulic rim brakes - now with a revised shape.
- Tested over a significant period of time with Trialtech team riders such as Stan Shaw.
- Helps to prevent damage to vulnerable cross-overs found on standard brakes.
- Increases brake efficiency and feel by ensuring even fluid flow to each cylinder.
- Large internal bore doesn't restrict fluid flow, especially when compared to rival models.
- Uses three M6 barbed fittings (not supplied) for easy hose connection and replacement. Not compatible with M8 shroud nuts / olives such as those found on many disc brakes. If you're unsure which fittings you require for your cylinders, feel free to ask.
- Not quite as light as integrated barbed fitting options, though cheaper, stronger and easier to fit.
- Bleeding is simple: just bleed one side of the system as normal, cap it off, then bleed the other side of the system.
- Can also be used with disc brakes for custom applications, but please note it is not a straightforward conversion. There are quite a few factors to consider such as thread size of you hose fittings and leverage ratios of the master and slave pistons. We have experience of these potentials issues and are happy to discuss them with you, don't hesitate to give us a call if you are unsure.
- Available in Black anodised finish only with stylish Trialtech 'Bashring' laser etched logos.
- Supplied fully packaged with Trialtech stickers enclosed.
- Weight: 5g

Hi Thank you for the Answer! Is there other hydraulic Brakes That would work with this Hose splitter That are 4 Piston? Please let me know! Thanks for the Support. PeterSripol.

Hi Peter!
There are, but they wouldn't necessarily work too well.
There are a few Hope brakes that are 4-piston, and Hope have the fitting available to create an M6 end that could work with the Trialtech splitter, but the lever would become the problem.
On our Magura MT2 Twin Caliper Brake, we switched the Magura MT2 lever to a Magura HS33 Rim Brake lever. The HS33 lever uses a 14mm piston compared to the 9 or 10mm piston you usually find on most disc brake levers. Without that increase in piston size you won't get enough fluid movement to make them particularly effective.
The problem is that Magura's systems are based on mineral oil, whereas the Hope system runs on DOT fluid. There aren't any DOT fluid compatible levers with larger pistons that we know of, sorry.
