ogre Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Just been lookin at break boosters, and was wonderin about that there onza carbon fibre one http://tartybikes.co.uk/image.php?image=carbonbooster.jpg , i have a few questions: 1. Is it worth my hard earned? 2. Would it be ok on a mod? 3. Is it £32 for one booster, or is that for a set. 4. is there something similar for less?

Zoo_Monkey Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 iv got the onza carbon booster on my T-Pro its a great bit of kit comes with nice bolts and spacers plus its relay strong and light. ill post a pic when i get home. i also have the RB designs 4 bolt booster on my Zoo Pitbull - in comparison it performs about the same but the ti bolts were rubbish/poorly threaded not much to chose from when it comes to brake boosters - the echo one has Tyre clearance problems or so i have herd - so i recon the onza is one of the best about for its quality and lack of fuss hope that helps- :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Tupman Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 You'd be better off looking in the For Sale section and contacting someone selling an XTR Shimano carbon boster that are far better and you can pick them up from about £20 :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 why waste the extra cash? get the 4 bolt echo one from tarty - it doesnt flex at all and i havent had any clearance problems on my t-pro with a big fat creepy-crawler on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 get one of the new heatsink boosters - only 28 quid, and much better ;) http://www.heatsinkbikes.com/?p=boosters Sketchy to fit on a mod, and have any tyre/mud clearance. Personally, I'd go for the Echo Team (And look, I did ;)). Used to have an RB, and the difference in performance is huge. The RB's really aren't that great, and the CF booster isn't much better. However, you can't really go wrong with the Team. It's designed for mod use too, so wahey, problem solved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technical Tom Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 The RB ones are supposed to be good, i bought an onza carbon one of a mate for 2 quid but still havnt put it on. I run a rb booster and when i used to run a standard lever blade it was ace and didn't flex, but know i use a rb lever blade it flexes loads so im getting the new heatsink 20" booster when it comes out in november. So if i was you i would go for the heatsink booster as it's cheaper and alot stiffer ;) Hope this helps, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Them thar heatsink boosters look ace, but does anybody have any idea when they come out and how much they cost? might get one o' dem insted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo_olie123 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 The price of the heatsink 26" booster is £28, so i think the price for the 20" booster will be about the same. www.heatsinkbikes.co.uk Olie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyb Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Get the echo team booster they have a lot of clearence on mods with a crrepy crawler on the back and not as much messing about with 4 bolts just the 2 and get it over and done with ;) Weight less aswell ;) rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
