Mat Smith! Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 No it doesn't boost the breaks, it stops the frame/fork from moving from the break pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom e Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Well yes, it really should increase the power as more pressure is on the rim rarther than the seatstay causing it to flex. But, i took my control booster off my frame for the first time since I got my control frame, and I haven't noticed any difference in power, I just get plenty more noise, and a shitload of flex. Then again, just because I don't notice any more breaking power, does not mean there isn't an increase. Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 >_<" basically you brakes are more powerfull that the properties of the frame so when the brake is pulled it forces the frame or forks apart i.e. moving outwards, this is the term "flex" It stops this happening so that the full force of the brake is focoused on the rim and not pushing your frame outwards.
