Mr Motivator Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I got a standard steel magura booster and drilled two 5mm holes in it 100mm apart from each other. Now I'm runing that on the top 2 bolts of the 4 bolt. It actually works pretty well, well good enough for free :) I might get a decent booster one day..

Mark W Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 OK. Final time, before all the Merseytrial accounts are suspended: No. Advertising. Adam's been warned once by me, and I know Danny's spoken to him before as well. If there are any more advertising threads by Merseytrial, the accounts will be suspended.

JT! Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Most people want 4-bolt now anyway. And, no offence, but it's a bit of an ugly ducklin compared to the heatsinks thing of beauty. Edited September 29, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMonkey Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I second that <_< You post so much shit like this that's a complete waste of time, alot of the people who have been recently validated seem not to be able to think of good posts, or feel obligated to post, so they post crap like that, I don't give a shit if you second it, especially if you don't give a reason why.

ogre Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 new to trials hehe, what exactly do you use a booster for? i always assumed they were just to protect the hosing or cable + general setup for brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee@merseytrial Posted October 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 They reduce flex so the brake works better :sick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 new to trials hehe, what exactly do you use a booster for? i always assumed they were just to protect the hosing or cable + general setup for brakes? Magura brakes are ridiculously powerful, so when you pull your's on, there's almost too much power. This manifests itself in forcing the pads against the rim, then the excess power going into forcing your stays of your frame away from the rim. With a booster in place, it means that you can eliminate the outwards flex of the stays and focus all the energy on the pads being firmly pressed into the rim, giving you more power. Personally, I'd go for either the Echo Control or Team boosters (Definitely the Team if you ride mod. I love mine, pity it's not 4-bolt though.), or maybe the new Heatsink stock booster if you're riding stock, basically. Apparently there's the mod one coming out, but I don't know if that's going to be 4 or 2-bolt specific. If it's 2, I think I'll jsut stick with my Team, but if it's 4-bolt I may invest. A really decent thick, stiff and light booster covering 4-bolt-equipped mods would be ideal for me at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
