Toby3448 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 i have a 4 bolt brake booster but i see so many brakes running without , i wonder if i really need the booster. i guess it would make the brake stronger with it ?????? currently its only got 2 bolts actually running threw the booster and the other two not not , so should i leave it take it off or get two more long bolts??please advise with reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnorPowell Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 It just stops the brake flexng and holds it in position best to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikeriding Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) It is better to have a brake booster, but its not so necessary on most frames Edited July 22, 2007 by afroman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I love reading these pre-member filled topics.Get it fitted properly with 4 bolts, then your brake won't be all spongified and gay at the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
