Anyone know where I can get these (if there's such a thing)? I only use backpacks and need 11mm to 8mm to attach microbore to pole hose.

I love john guest fittings

Much better and more reliable than rectus fittings

Naaaaaahhhh, maybe I didn't put my point across well. I have made my pole sort of tubless (well the hose seperates anyway), trouble is I am backpack only and I am using JG connectors and high pressure pole hose, the problem is the pole hose is too rigid in this weather so I need to use microbore, but it has to connect to pole hose so I need a JG reducer that is 11mm-8mm but I don't think there is such a thing?

If the internal diameter is 6 mm put one of these on the microbore and push that into the 8mm john guest fitting

Been on the JG website there isn't a reducer that takes microbore 11mm o/d I might try this XLine pole hose as main hose as long as the o/d is 8mm then attach it to pvc pole hose.

Problem with that barb is my diy tubeless conversion has a JG attached which enters the pole that barb isn't going to fit in the pole is it?

That's no good, I want to connect 6mm microbore to 5mm pole hose?

Put the end of the hose in a cup of hot water and it will fit over easily

1 on each hose is how i am going to be connecting all my hoses when they get delivered

I think it is a very solid connection with solid 8mm ends rather than flexible hose
