Ben John-Hynes Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Most of the Boosters on Trials-UK will fit your frame,As for pads, are you using a smooth rim or a grind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeM Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 If you cracked your Echo, then why are you getting a DOB?On topic - My friend runs a try-all 2bolt booster on his DOB. Seems to be fine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tris Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 hey dude. ive heard plazmatic crm's are good. so i'm getting some.also, anyone, do you need longer bolts or spacers or anything if you are upgrading and getting a booster?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 plazmatics are the way forward, as for booster id go for the try-all 2 bolt booster and it comes with bolts and spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum-Luvs-Trials Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hello Jamie, if you are getting a new rear rim your best bet would be to get a Try-all with anodised sidewalls. Keep it smooth and get Plazmatic pads, becuase it is summer it will do great because they is no rain anymore (Touch wood), Also for a really grabby bitey brake add a tad bit of tar and that ill do you for the rest of summer After summer when it starts to rain agian, put a nice hars grind on your rim and get the Coustsinks or Red Heatsink pads About the booster, just get a nice two bolt one like the trialtech or the try-all Hope I have helped.Callum.

JamieWilliams Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was thinking of getting CNC coust pads But what are KOXX browns like?

Ben John-Hynes Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I would like some pads that are good in wet and dry.If you want pads that perform the same in the wet as they do in the dry, get Heatsink Reds in CNC backings.Apparently the have the same bite and hold in the we as they do in the dry!

joey vajda Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I would get the Rock Pads cause there amazing with a grind and a bit of tar will make it lock up like there's no tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-winder Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 first of all. there has been new topics on "which pads are best" since the start of the forum. check out the section which has been made especially for brake pad reviews. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=41481as regards to using a booster. the dob magnesium frame doesn't appear to have much substantial strengthening around the area where the seat stays meet the top tube. and considering the frame is a magnesium alloy (proven to be lighter but not quite as strong as some of the popular aluminium alloys) it is probably worth while using a booster.the dob has a 99mm spaced 4 bolt mount which leaves you allot of choice as to which booster you want to use. almost every available booster is compatible with your frame so the choice is yours. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
