J Trials 31 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Wondering how good it actually works. My A3 came with a ZOO! brake booster on it, but never rode it without it. Does it work ok without one? Is there any sense in me having it on there? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting on with it pretty well. I ride it better than any other bike I've ever had.( That's not saying much) but still it's awesome. I will post some pictures of it when I get it like I want it. Having some trouble getting the cranks off to switch over to front freewheel, but we'll get that sorted. Now to find some good pads. I really don't want to grind my nice new rims either. So I'm looking for some really good pads. Probably get V!Z clear pads, Moe's, or Rock Greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Some people seem to believe they have a bit of flex without a booster.I think there is some flex but not much.But either way, I'd reccomend a booster, just for crossover protection.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I never ran mine with a booster, it worked perfectly, no flex in the frame at all.There is no need for a booster, if the frame already has a built in booster...

The threads were stripped when Webcyclery sold us the wrong crank puller. They are going to sell me new cranksmore than half price. And get me the correct crank puller.
