stya_bear Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I run a booster, it basically stops the frame from flexing when using the rear brake. Strengthening the brake and in-turn giving a greater hold! The disc option I have no idea about, but generally I only know a small handful of riders with a rear disc. HS33 on the rear is perfectly adequate in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
