Calling All Vee-brakers

[ogre]

no i just measured it. thats with the vee adapters fully out.

[ogre]

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

Device that stiffens the rear brake, usually increasing performance + longevity of the frame and brake

[craigjames]

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

Typo or have I mis-read something?

Jeeeeez, i guess you're running a wide rim, because thats mentally wide spacing!

echo urban, heatsink pads, really big

Yes, yes and yes. Shimano Carbon on the back - but for the purposes of your research - more choice would be nice. There's a lot of magura boosters out there, but only a few Vees.

I love V brakes & it would be nice to see someone make a new Carbon booster that looks like the old XTR. At the moment I am using a cheap alum Tektro & it does a fine job.

[Ash-Kennard]

surely if you have adapters and a frame with a built in booster it should be okay?

[Ali C]

narr, a booster stops the actual pivot posts flexing out thus making the holding power a million times better

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

Dose it not depend on the brake spacing?

[Rafal]

i thought it's obvious. Of course the spacing have to be the same. I meant you can make V booster from 4bolts booster. Bigger holes in the lower bolts and it's done

meh we want a bespoke one though

[Matt Burrows]

I managed to get hold of a pair of XTR boosters, and am now selling one on ebay. Seriously stiff, but not very wide and won't fit my current set up
