mr.zoot Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 well i am thinking about getting a 2 blot booster on my onza litei am running a 4 bolt booster but will a 2 bolt stop the frame from flexingthe 4 bolt boost stops the frame from flexing altogether and is the 2 bolt booster as stiff what 2 bolt boosters are good make wisethanks terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Don't think it will work as well as a 4 bolt one but my mate ran a 2 bolt on maggie's and it seamed to work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETROLEO Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Can i just ask, why do you want to go to 2 bolt if you already have a 4 bolt?4 bolts are stronger because there cant be any movement where it goes onto the frame.Leo.

Muel Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I much prefer 2 bolt boosters, 4 bolt ones make the brake too stiff I've found and reduce the bite and hold.Is it a T-Lite? my brother has a 4 bolt RB booster on his, it's alright, not very loud though.I'd recommend CNC backings with a 2 bolt booster, they make the brake nice and stiff but don't reduce bite.

COCKY Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Depends how much the frame tends to flex If i was to get a booster I would run a two bolt Trialtech have one out the carbon one there mint friend has on on the back of his python 04 (they flex ALOT) and with the booster it works mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxxis26 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 ive had no choice but to use an old v brake booster on the rear of my saracen cause no 4 bolt booster fitsso far its been woring fine im using a water bleed maggie and it does flex a little but i dont really notice it when riding, but if you look at the frame when still you can see it flex but its such a small amount of movement i dont worry about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 i run a 2 bolt on the back of my zenith ( although the brake area of that is basically a cnc-d lump )and im more than happy with it. Had a 4-bolt on the zoo pitbull, and that was fine also...depends on which booster you go for, and on which frame. I'd say only really flexy frame need a 4 bolt booster, although the use of an aftermarket lever blade (read : longer / more braking force ) may facilitate the need for a stiffer braking area, and therefore booster.
