Mikee Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 For the first time in many years, I find myself wanting a v-brake booster. Is there any on the market these days worth buying? Or shall I just try my luck finding a second hand shimano carbon one or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted topic coming up. i've had 2 ebay jobbies during my vee phase, both did the job perfectly fine. i'll have a root through my spares if your interested in one? I would be interested if they are nice and cheap. As I would only want one as a temp jobby untill I find a shimano one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Song Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Just make sure that the frame you have is narrow enough to fit those boosters. Those old school boosters are nice, but they are too narrow for many pure trials frames these days with a 47mm rim in the rear. If that's the case, you might have to get one custom made. I just bought mine from here that fits on my Zoo Piranha: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251467651398?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
