Calling All Vee-brakers

[ogre]

little bit of design and technology survey

[hdmackay]

Well, I only runa front vee so a booster isn't neccesarry and my brake is insane.

However, if your planning on running a rear vee, definately get a booster.

what he said

I am running a salsa booster from 5 years ago, it would be nice to have a decent booster available now

[Matt Burrows]

I'm not running one because I don't like any of the boosters currently available, I'm trying to get hold of an XTR but they are very rare!

[Luke Rainbird]

Running vees front and rear, no booster in sight even on top of the Heatsink adaptors on the rear as the brakes are more than stiff enough as they are

[Skoze]

Shimano carbon jobby all the way, i'm really going to regret getting rid of it

Need something like that on the market again, it's light, strong, pimp as f**k and just superawesome.

[uldis]

I do not run any booster on my rear vee's and I don't think I'm getting one...

[jambo]

I am currently running a front and rear v-setup with a XTR booster on the rear. It would appear that every man and there dog is after a salsa carbon booster or an XTR so it would seem there is a market for a new skool one.

wink wink trialtech please make a carbon v booster, Id buy one for both bikes, I wonder how many other folk would buy one?

[Dale-Hill]

Wheres the I'm a disc fag option?

[Skoze]

I wonder how many other folk would buy one?

I would.

Make it like the 2 bolt, but longer. Sorted

[Christophe']

Unless you can find a carbon xtr(like i did on ebay for £7.50p ) your stuffed.

Trialtech , we need a nice v booster!

[craigjames]

I did run and will be running on my second bike a salsa carbon booster, spot on really. Looks good, does the job, sorted

[ogre]

how much spacing do salsa boosters allow? (cause i'm on onza mounts mounted fully outwards )

[benthedog]

well i don't even know what a booster is?????

[Oli P]

Some one does need to make a good carbon V-booster, I have been looking for one but I can not find any good ones.

[hdmackay]

I think this bad boy is the best your gonna get for now.

Yeh. Whatevery you do don't get the thermoplastic one from chain reaction cycles.

It kinda flexes... a lot.

I couldnt do that to my bike it would cry and say "why James, why I`ve never done anything wrong to you?"

But you are right its as good as you can buy brand new.

I don't get it. :$

Explain?

echo doesn't really suite the whole deng free v-brake image i wouldnt mind the echo one but it isn't actually wide enough

[craigjames]

I dont honestly know off the top of my head, i dont think it would fit when i tried to have my heatsink mounts on the widest spacing on my 07 control. But there is more than enough space on the central mounts.

[hdmackay]

Ahh, ok. Lol.

[ogre]

on a simtra with the mounts all the way out i measure it as 130mm ish...

[Rafal]

every 4bolts maguras booster will fit vbrake. I run echo sl booster and it's really good. 69g

Riding without is killing the frame or adapters. It will start to break sooner or later

Wait a minute... 130mm brake spacing!?

Typo or have I mis-read something?
