Bobby Fox Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Booster looks lush, and all the other products i think are pimp as well even though they are simple small things and im sure these parts will fly out the shops good job and looking forward to some new products in the future.

Dave@Trialtech Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 The product range is a bit weak at the moment. I mean the spacers are just cut up tubes. The bolts just bought in bulk from somewhere i guess and the booster does look ok, but the carbon booster has been done to death now. I was kind of expecting more innovation.Looking forward to seeing it progress though. Thanks for the comments and taking the time to post.I find your comments on the carbon booster a little strange. Trials specific boosters from Whitehurst and Carbonique were cut from pre-formed sheet, so didn't make the most of the material's capabilities. There was the Onza carbon 4bolt booster which was a good effort, but the shape bas a little questionable in terms of extracting maximum stiffness-weight ratio. I'd say carbon boosters have been done yes, to death no, and I'd definitely argue strongly that they haven't been done to this level before .Hopefully some of my future products will be more to your liking.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Dave, do a set of uber pimp Carbon hubs!Carbon hub shell, TI axles, then Steel/Aluminium thingies bonded on for the sprocket and disc mounts?Could be feasable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrAsHeR Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Booster looks very good.But for the bolts would it not be better to make the hole for the allen key a bit deeper.Because i still manage to round them off and maybe at the bottom make another hole for a smaller alen key if you round the first oneSo say its a 6m amake an other 4m hole inside ?And maybe you should try make titanium bits other than screws?Sorry if iam not using the right words iam frenchGood luck Edited February 1, 2008 by TrAsHeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Daves gay and hasnt got plans for a vee booster as he doesnt think it would be feasable as not enough would be bought id love a carbon one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I may be wrong, but the market for a carbon booster is small anyway due to its cost, where almost all vee users are tarts who will willingly spend money on boosters like it's going out of fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
