Brake Booster (for Frame)

[Dan81]

Simple question - do they make a noticeable difference...and how (better hold, more solid feeling?) Any good ones in particular?

[Ashley-Wood]

If you have frame flex bad, it will give more hold, less spongey lever feel, But will take bite away.

If you dont have a flexy frame and you use a booster, it might make hold and bite worse.

Something like a 4bolt if your frame flexes alot if not a 2 bolt.

Rb's are decent for 4-bolt, trialtech 2-bolt are good if you need 2-bolt.

a solid brake is always a good one gives you trust in the bike when u need it. Also helps to be beld properly with no air in the system

just something that others haven't really commented on:

saves your brake mounts, less stress on bolts and clamps as the load is equally distributed

if u have a brake mount which is quite 'proud' from the frame material then a booster is a good idea.

i used one on my monty (25" with adapter to 26") purely to save the frame! on my echo though it doesnt seem to make much difference, just nice to ahve the reassurance and helps to protect the crossover from trailing feet and bails

I used an Echo 4 bolt booster on my Onza Prototype frame.

It worked very well, stopped frame flex and I didn't notice any change to the bite.

Other than that it looked really nice.
