Microbore hose

[RavashingRichie]

Hi, i have been using the blue waterworks hose on my real and am looking to replace it , its lighter and only has an 11.5 external diameter which is excellent but its out of stock, does anyone know where else has hose like this ? Or perhaps pheonix red is light also ? Thanks

Any wfp supplier will have microbore hose. It may not be the same colour though.

What you do have to consider is that some suppliers also sell a red hose for hot water systems. That hose is still classed as microbore (6mm internal diameter) but has a thicker hose wall. This would make it less flexible when using cold water.

Circuit Hydraulics on eBay, the Grippa hot hose is a thicker hose heavier hose, if using cold water I wouldn't bother mine is around 15-16 months old and it's showing signs of wear and I've flipped it once already, something across the board has changed over the years as every hose in the last 3 years or so has been pretty for longevity
