Nick Manning Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 The distance between my top mounts of the 4 bolt mounts on my frame is 90mm. This means I cannot run any of the boosters seen on Tartybikes website. I have been thinking about buying a Magura booster, but I cannot find any information about the bolt hole distance. This is the booster I'm thinking of buying - Magura booster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Manning Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Hey Kenny, I'm after a 2 bolt ideally. I was intending on just running washers on top of the booster with the bolts holding it down, figured that would do. I'm running a HS33 with TNN mounts and TNN Belaey pads, works really well, but my frame flexes quite abit. When I pedal you can hear the brake rub. I only need a booster to stiffen the frame up and prevent the frame felxing as much. I have that Tensile 4 bolt booster, but I find it quite a lot of hassle when setting the brake up, and I tend to hit my left ankle (I'm right foot forward ), when I'm sidehopping.

Nick Manning Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have a trialtech 2 bolt booster, but a lot needs to be filed for it to fit, plus i don't have a file small enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 If you have a MAD, it won't work, I used to have a MAD but I had to file a lot the Magura booster, so much that it cracked it the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 With a tiny bit o jigery with a small file the old try all ones will fit duderino. not much filing needed, about 10 mins. I'll see if I can find the one I did, but dont hold yer breath cos I think I gave it away already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you mean you had to file so much out? Yea it's a MAD Phase. I measured the distance and it's 90mm so if a magura booster is 90 mm then it should fit fine.

Mark W Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 You could theoretically get creative and just 'sculpt' a Tensile booster into either a 2-bolt booster, or just to have a less sticky-outy shape? Either way though, if you feel it's your frame flexing when you're pedalling I don't really think a booster's going to do much to help out with that. Checked your spoke tension and all that kinda stuff? Or for cracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked your spoke tension and all that kinda stuff? Or for cracks? It's a new frame. It did this on my last Phase, but it stopped once I put a booster on, that was the tensile one, I also bought a CNC echo rim and new spokes from tarty and re built the wheel. Had no problems, but then the frame cracked. So now got another, but reall don't want to use the tensile, because of hitting my ankle. I used my trialtech on a phase frame before and it fit ok, but it doesn't fit now, no idea what's changed. But the holes don't line up it's too wide.
