matt.price Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 just wondering if anyone has tried this as my frame still flexes with a 4 bolt booster. I was thinking putting a 2 bolt booster under the 4 bolt? and another question , is a bit of flex good for the brake? stupid idea? good idea? cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 For the ultimate flex reducing setup I'd go for a TNN system with a trialtech 4 bolt on top. That would be immense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Well it is possible but you'll have to use longer bolts or shorter spacers and make sure everything is screwed down very tight. Otherwise you'll just have the 2bolt booster moving around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) It is almost impossible to remove all flex, on any set-up there will still be a small amount of movement. If the brake works then whats the issue? If your finding the brake performance isn't what you expect with one booster then there is a problem with brake setup. Bleed? pads hitting perfectly square? decent grind? Edited February 27, 2011 by kyddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
