Laurence--Trials Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Need a brake booster as mines a shitty plastic one and im a bit of a weeny so just wondered if the weights on these boosters were accurate... Onza Carbon Hs33 Brake Booster 23.2 Grams £18 Woodman Carbon Booster hs33 Style Material : Unidirectional Carbon fiber Weight : 21.2 grams £25 Trial Tech carbon booster 48grams £39 Also has anyone tried these boosters?

Duncy H Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I do believe the top two are boosters that are to be used with the evo adapters, so they would more than likely be no good and/or have the incorrect spacing. Also I think the trialtech weight is with the bolts and washers included. It is still an insanely light package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Ahh okay then, shame though considering the weight. Might try and make a booster myelf would pass a bit of time too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 The weight for the Trialtech booster (and bolts, washers, spacers) will be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 yeah i thought the TT one would be accurate just wasn't sure about the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Im using the trialtech one and I can confirm....it works! Stiffened the back brake up a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Actually if you look closely, they all do. I've got a plastic carbon booster, was 4bolt but cut down to 2 bolt, looks fairly similar to the TT one, weighed it and its 45g so i'm wondering if it is actually carbon. I'll try and find a link or get pictures.

Stupid question from me i guess, i guess i should have asked: What plastic could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
