Jan Tore Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 If you can't find one, there's always the possibility to repaint it. Make sure to sand it and prime it before paint and clearcoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh barker Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Why 4 bolt, 2bolts can be just as good.http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...category_id=104Thats one of the best 2 bolt boosters around, lots of people use these and for your liking you can get them in white.

duncan_echo26 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Some people say that brakes can get too stiff and loose all their bite but I don't know.It think a 2 bolt booster is more than fine for most frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Some people say that brakes can get too stiff and loose all their bite but I don't know.It think a 2 bolt booster is more than fine for most frames.Yup, they seem to be too stiff. Why that be, i can only guess I'd recommend getting an Rb 2 bolt if you can find one, they weigh barely anything and seem to be damn effective. Barring that, maybe a try-all?

ISO2 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 What do you deam as too stiff? After a box load of Viagra or a shot of cocaine directly in there...? There is no medium to how stiff is stiff. You can have really stiff.Every booster will flex some what, how well it's been drawn to prevent this is where the stiffness comes in. XTR and Heatsink will not move, RB etc all flex. Watch your mounts as you pump the leaver fully, they spray out from the length of the mount, top to bottom all in one go.So 4 bolt is better as stops all movment along the length. 4 bolt is stiffer than 2 bolt due to the location of flex reduction. The grip will not decrease with a booster, it will go up as there is no place for the presure exerted to go in terms of slipping or being weaker. It'll be harder and stiffer with a hard pad compound, soft well soft is soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
