PeanuckleJive Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 does the brake make your frame flex a lot when you pull it? It's usually worth doing, Although some frames have boosters built in these days, dunno if the GU is one of them so maybe somebody will correct me here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanuckleJive Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 it dos have an extra plate like a booster welded to the frame I guess you should be alright without it then, do you have any troubles with your brake slipping or your frame flexing? I guess putting a booster on won't do any damage, but it might just be dead weight and money spent with no real advantage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) What are the advantages of a 4 bolt booster over a 2 bolt? My Inspired frame seems to flex quite a bit when I grab a handfull, bit worried about the stress the brake mounts are put under when that happens.
