MikeWarner Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've recently finished building my stock and have done a few rides. I'm not getting on with the rear brake at all as there is little feeling and too much sponginess (Maguras on 4 bolt mounts). I've been looking at fitting a booster, but I'm unsure whether to go for a 2 or 4 bolt set-up. Please can someone let me know if the 4 bolt ones actually produce a better brake feel, or are the 2 bolt ones sufficient? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianatrials Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 It dpends on how flexy the frame is. If it is as flexy as im gathering it is from your description you will probably want to go 4-bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringThatShtIn Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) I've heard from people (when I asked the same question lol) that 4-bolts aren't that much better (if at all) than 2-bolts nowadays. Just get a decent 2-bolt. Edited September 29, 2009 by BringThatShtIn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWarner Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks for the replies.I'm thinking that a 2 bolt version hold things together at the top, and how much flex can there be between there and the lower mount? Not much I'm guessing (well, educated guessing, I do have an engineering degree after all! lol). Anyone tried both first hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotty08 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Another vote for 4 bolt ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
