carnagr Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Lately I've noticed my booster (Salsa Carbon, on a Simtra) has been flexing quite a bit. I like my brake to be f**king stiff, and every other part of it is damned expensive, so it's a waste of all my money if my brake is mushy because I have a shitty booster.I want to hear what boosters are stiff as f**k. Has anyone tried one of those 74Kingz boosters from tarty? They're damned expensive, so they must have something going for them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control booster, cnc'd backings and an already stiff rex frame makes one hell of a solid brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Sure it's the booster?Try cleaning out the insides of your brake, and give it a fresh bleed. Happened to me before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnagr Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Haha it's vees guys. And no it's obviously not the bleed. You can see the frame flex like a madman when you pull the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
