RastaYak Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hi everyone! I need a booster for my vees, but i don't buy Deng's part, and Neon\ZHI\Bionic too, don't ask why, i just don't like them. So, i don't even know other firm, that makes Vee boosters, and i need your help in choosing.P.S. Sorry for bad english, tell me please, if you find some mistakes.

liam-pantera Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 74 kingz make a realy stiff booster but you may want to just modify a 4 bolt booster . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Banks Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Are boosters any good? I've never had one, my brakes work fine but if i got one would i notice an improvement?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Booster doesn't really improve the braking itself, you probably won't notice better grip or hold of the brakes. But booster saves the frame and bolts from flexing while braking. Probably betterfeeling when pressing the lever - stifer, stronger.

Ali C Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 a booster makes a MASSIVE difference to the hold! I would never run a vee without a booster just for that fact.PS, try and get a shimano xtr booster off ebay, they are by far the best.
