tvee rider Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Brake boosters make your brake better and quieter. You dont have to run one if you have got decent pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txt2007 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Because hydraulic brakes are so powerfull, when you brake the frame gets pushed out. So yeah basically stiffens the frame which gives better braking and because theres less movement theres less noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Chinnery Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Already been mentioned, but it is a very strong cnc'd piece of metal which stiffens the frame, Improves braking (hold) and quetens the brake. Also it can reduce frames like koxx xtp2's mounts cracking.And that .and how much for the t- rexSorry mate, no buying or selling in NMC.

WIGAN Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 A capital letter is only required at the beginning of the sentence, you know.lmao you fag, who gives a shit. And to answer your question it helps stop frame flex and makes your brake stiffer wich will give it more hold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu69 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 a brake booster stops the frame from flexing but if you have a good grind and it holds well already you dont need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggey66 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) brake boosters make the brake stronger. They do this by making the frame strong. There for the frame will no bend. This gives the brake more power. Which mean you will be able to stop quicker, pull biger endos and find it easier to hold you're bike on the back wheel doing a back hop, and many more things.

neonneon Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Brake boosters make your brake better and quieter. You dont have to run one if you have got decent padsLol, Errm... My brake booster seemed to make my brake louder, because it amplifies the vibrations. Also: Pads have nothing to do with it as better pads would probably make frame flex worse...If your going to comment, make it worthy...Brake boosters basically stiffen the frame because in braking, sometimes the frame can flex outwards, causing damage to the frame and effecting brake power.Some frames have built in Brake boosters or some frames are stiffer than others. I'd strongly reccomend running a booster as it protects your hose/brake and it also can act as a nice little seat Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Iv got a czar 07 with a brake booster built in and i still have an tensile 4 bolt brake booster on too for them times i seat on my frame so i don't snap the crossover pipe plus it works loads better too.
