Hoping the hive mind can suggest a suitable tool/tools (or alternative approach) that I can use to manage the following:
I've purchased some zeno q-connectors to allow hose disconnection for travelling and servicing: https://zenocycleparts.com/collections/ ... ck-coupler
The connection point for the couplers will be at the stem/fork junction, with cables being routed internally through the stem and down into the frame.
The pressure required to close the couplers together is enough to require both hands, which means I've no free hand to apply the retaining pin. It's manageable in practice, however the challenge is exacerbated by the small space to work within between the stem exit hole and the fork entry point.
I'm wondering if there is a tool in existence that could clamp each hose end and, similar to a master link pliers, pull them together in the small space?
(NOTE: I'm leaving enough slack in the lines to be able to remove the stem from the fork so won't be a tiny working space, however it's only a few cms, and so the stem and bars still need to be balanced somewhere nearby, and as I plan to use this for when I travel, I'm envisaging a situation where I'm trying to do this in a hotel room, where I won't have tools, bikestands, etc.)
Any and all suggestions would be welcomed!
