ZeroMatt Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Saw the BrakeForceOne thing the other day on singletrack and went looking for a price, the cheapest I found it for is about 340 quid. That was from here. If they are as good as they're claimed to be may have to invest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i like cunning stunts Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Just a little like! Love the design and thought behind it but is it really worth twice as much as a hope tech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic3vil Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Double the power and 274gr It's not that bad. Spending 390euros to smash on a wall is a bit to much.. Edited October 14, 2011 by Chaotic3vil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ok does anyone understand the principle behind the brake force one brake booster? I can't see how that tiny and rather cheap looking brake can be the answer to all your braking needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 It SOUNDS like they're talking about a servo like you have in a car, but the lever body is so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) As far as I can tell essentially it's a smaller piston moving the larger piston to the rotor which then engages for more stopping power. That means you can have the power from a large piston but no issues with brakes rubbing all the time like you would if it were a brake with just a large piston, or the other way round if it's in the lever. Sounds like it would feel a bit mushy and weird. Edited October 18, 2011 by ZeroMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
