crispyboy Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hello, Just been looking around at bits and bobs and found this looks like a really good idea and easy to use Just thought some people might like to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Booster is a bit too high up though, it's asking to be sat on or get knocked on something and bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Thinking about it, it's got potential. The booster is in the middle of the mount, sharing the force. I say, someone test it. I would, If I had money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dd Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Extra bolts add weight. Why would you go for something like this, when you have supper stiff and light tnn clamp-booster. Might be a litle cheaper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Extra bolts add weight. Why would you go for something like this, when you have supper stiff and light tnn clamp-booster. Might be a litle cheaper though. I've never liked the idea of the TNN set up, a two bolt booster mounted to the top mounts leaving the other two free. I know its going to add some stiffness, but surely this set up would be more efficient? I agree with the comment on it being too high, the booster needs to be as close to the pivot/bending moment as possible.

Alex Dark Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Tis alright...original but not the best way of going about it. I'd sandwich the booster as used by TNN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tux07 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 HaHa or go to the gym lol, i've heard to many people being overly conscious about weight the average bolt wieghs bout a gram so why bother, do they remove the insoles from trainers to make runners faster by shaving weight no, the only things weight should be thought about is on frame, forks, cranks and wheels everything else is just not worth caring about a prime example is titanium bolts as i was in the pub one day i over heard an xc rider say " well i've shaved off ten grams to my bikes" so i told him i shaved a kilo off "how?" he asked, easy i took a dump!

Lokoxx Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hey, this booster is great, it has being designed and produced by: www.racingtrials.es The booster has been tested by some riders and they say it is a great booster. The really good point it has, is that you can set up your hs33 perfectly without the booster, and when you´ve set it up, and it is perfect, then you add the booster. Also is really light, and the clamps do not need the plastic rings, so it is a REALLY stiff system, and surely it worths it (includes clamps and booster). You can buy it in the manufacturer´s site, or in trialprod, or in biketrialshop: http://www.biketrialshop.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16&products_id=59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin555 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) I can see the idea but I think if its not broke dont fix it. Edited April 26, 2010 by martin555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) I can see the idea but I think if its not broke dont fix it. If everyone had that attitude, nothing would ever progress would it? Theres nothing better than a company taking a new direction in something, designing something in a way in which no one else has yet. Even if it does not work and ends up a failure, its been tried and people can progress again. EDIT: Oh yes, for all you weight weenies woried about a gram or two. The weight of this system with a tradtional 4 bolt system would be similar. The bolts on the 4 bolt mounts are shorter than a conventional booster would be, plus you don't have any of the bolt spacers you normally would have with a 4 bolt booster.

You are still a newbie, so better shut your mouth boy and keep you fingers of the keyboard! is says newbie because i'm new to the forum, dumbass an they are age old word spoken by motor-cyclists before me so you best get a brain cell an work out that if you can lift a couple of extra 1/2 grams then you are infact the pussy, i used to ride trials on full chromoly bikes that would suited a scrap yard better than my garage, man up it's a pitiful amount of weight to moan Edited April 27, 2010 by Tux07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux07 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) everyone would be on megamos lol, are megamo stil going, just the name brings back memories like ot pi and alike, mind you i can still remember the gas gas mods Edited April 27, 2010 by Tux07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 everyone would be on megamos That would be saweeeeeet! Booster and clamps look cool. The TNN system must work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Surely 'cause the bolts aren't going all the way through the clamp then it'll still flex fairly badly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yess! Think how much weight that could save! Those two bolts probably weigh less than the longer bolts and spacers you use on a normal booster you dick'ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Haha funny how everyone gets so heated over a bloody alternative booster idea It may not work as well, but at least there's another option for some people, and with snazzy black clamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
