Evolution and the flow stop

Kyza · 22nd May 2006, 02:03

When a flow stop is put on the ADV of the Evolution, the extra length of the hose pushes the T into the side of your head. I was wondering what others have done about this. Has anyone changed the port the hose comes from, or is it a question of buying a new shorter hose. I would be interested to hear what others have done to aleaveate this discomfort. I dont remember this happening on the older Classics.

Thanks
Jon

The hose is the standard length with the ADV not in place. You can cut and shorten the hose at the dil bar end to make it fit correctly since the fittings at that end are adjustable.

I changed the dil bar port that it connects to to allow for the connection of an offboard tank but it is still too long. It is one of those 'one day' jobs to shorten it. ie one day I will get around to it.
