Ben John-Hynes Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Something 2-bolt would be best. I've found that 4-bolt boosters are TOO stiff and can make the brake worse(and quiet if that's your thing). The Echo booster is possibly the stiffest booster I've used and it made my brake soo much worse, after I took it off my brake had bite and hold again!

Mark W Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Which frame have you got? The Tensile fits a wider range of bikes (e.g. Inspired frames, whereas not many others do), but something like the Trialtech Sport is an awesome booster. Used one when I ran a Magura on the back and it was great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottTrials Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 The Echo Urban is a great booster if you have an older frame but on my limey20 it sucks, does give okish hold and a lot of noise but the bolts supplied with them are shite. Sorry about nicking your thread quickly but what would people say to me grinding an urban booster up to the top bolt hole to make it a 2 bolt.

From what people have said i may be better off with a 2 bolt booster, any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I haven't heard anything bad about them, although the downside to them is that they are criminally ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
