I am getting a blue spyder e-99. I am putting a PMI adjustable cradle on it w\ 20 ounce co2 w\ smart parts on\off valve and I will use the existing Air Source Adaptor but I need to know if the macroline kit in the link above will work; especially the fittings (90* elbow, etc.) will they work for the stock a.s.a. on the e-99?

yah that should work, the fittings screw into your asa and then ya plug the macroline in... you can get more macroline in a kit w\ 2 fittings cheaper at www.countypaintball.com

i don't think know. Spdyer use metric threads so they need special elbows. However onece I screwed an elbow for a spyder into a PT Extreme with standard threads and it worked.

No matter how you shake it, they're bending you. Do this:

Sorry, the tube only comes in clear/opaque, but it's a whopping $0.47 a foot. :eek: and the fittings? Around $2.00. Dig?

I'm gonna get a stainless steel hose instead of macroline.
Whats the difference between mircoline and macroline?

micro is thin and low flow rate but high prssure
Macro is wide with high flow rate but lower pressure
Also Micro seems prone to bursting.

welll yeah thats a good point but if you read the fine print on the elbows and fittings it says they are only good up to 260 psi and i use a 800 psi preset tank which would make that elbow explode. you had a good idea but it wont work.

Hmm... I must be defying physics, because I've been using those fittings for right about 3 years now, and never even has so much as a leak.
If you really want some fine print, order one of the fittings from Mcmaster, then hold it up next to the one you paid $8 a your local pball shop. They're the exact same thing.
Actually, that's not entirely true. The Mcmaster fittings are swivel base, and they hold the macroline better.
