It wouldn't work, the microbore is usually longer than standard hozelock lengths.

Even though it would fit on the reel it would overwind the spring.

20m
30m
40m

i was thinking,in my part drunken state,if i removed the hozelock and replaced with say 60mts of micro bore it might work but unless someone as done it i dont fancy being the first ;D

a 60m hozelock reel easily fits 100m 6mm microbore we tried it with an old one laying about worked wonders for a whole 3 weeks it broke.

hozelock is great for home use but in and out of the van for commercial use it isnt up to the job
