onzatrip Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hey people, I'm running a bionic b5r frame with the set up is tnn clamps, phatpads in cnc with a 04 Maggie with a fresh products blade, the issue is without a booster the brake is very bitey but does slip sometimes but with a trialtech 2 bolt booster it loses all bite but holds like a bitch! What I'm wandering is thee some way which there could be an in-between ?? All help appreciated Thanks Tris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Have you tried a different booster? One thats maybe less stiff that the trialtech one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike_dummie Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I had the exact same problem with my zoo booster (modified down to a 2bolt) all i did was i removed some material from the booster at the arch nearest the wheel with a file causing the booster to flex a bit more resulting in more bite while retaining hold.

Alex Dark Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Try longer bolts and spacers...should all ow the frame to flex slightly more. Personally id just slam the booster like im running to get the most hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 SL Boosters are ace. Not too stiff, not too flexy and look sweet. Made my brake on my old Python a million times better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I had an Echo booster, made little difference and flexed a fair bit, if you want slightly more hold give one a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want less hold with the trialtech booster held like a bitch but had no bite and other way round, this sl off mikey should do trick needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
