Skoze Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Over time it can cause the frame to crack!Any 4bolt booster'll stop the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidehop Stuart Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 My magura causes my frame to flex loads, so I got a 4 bolt Echo booster.Also I like to use a booster to protect the crossover from being knocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Baxter Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 My frame used to do that , now i have a booster on it dusnt flex at all though XD it also adds protection to the crossover on your brake. Also a better stronger frame wudnt flex as much.Adam(Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarron on a echo lite 08 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 booster would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Powell Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Yeah, just like everyone else has said really. When you pull the brake the pistons come out and hit the rim, But because your frame isn't stiff enough it pushes the seatstays out, This will effect the hold of your brake so it will slip. The best thing to do is get a nice stiff booster, 4-bolt will do the job perfectley, Anyone should be fine, Echo, Adamant, Gu ect. Id try and get hold of one as soon as possible other wise your frames going to produce a crack on either a weld on the seat stay or a brake mount.
