Matthew_Gibson Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 get some 6mm think steel and make one to fit, use a hacksaw to make a neater cut. all you'll need is a decent hacksaw, file, and a drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGAN ?? Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Is there such a thing? Got a Vee setup on the back of my Ice, and obviously its quite a wide setup, so I need a wide booster. I've got an Echo one but its too narrow, even after some modification.. Any suggestions? Cheers, Kieran. are you using, 4bolt-vee mounnts ?is there no way to mount a maggie booster under the mounts with some modifying ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 are you using, 4bolt-vee mounnts ?is there no way to mount a maggie booster under the mounts with some modifying ? Id imagine having the Booster underneath or on top of the 4bolt to Vee adaptors wouldnt leave any tyre clearance. I've tried running a booster directly on my 4 bolt clamps, and it rubbed on the tyre, and that was set higher than yours would be. Willing to be proven wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried running a booster directly on my 4 bolt clamps, and it rubbed on the tyre, and that was set higher than yours would be. Willing to be proven wrong though I've found it wont remove most of the flex which occurs from the vee posts themselves, hence why you need a proper vee booster on the top. I've only ever used a Salsa carbon booster, but there was plenty of space with that. Might have to be a custom job unless you can find a Salsa or Shimano booster?

Thats a good idea actually, thanks are you using, 4bolt-vee mounnts ?is there no way to mount a maggie booster under the mounts with some modifying ? Yeah I am, and I've never thought of that, could work, but as craigjames said, doesn't the majority of the flex occur in the posts? I've found it wont remove most of the flex which occurs from the vee posts themselves, hence why you need a proper vee booster on the top. I've only ever used a Salsa carbon booster, but there was plenty of space with that. Might have to be a custom job unless you can find a Salsa or Shimano booster? Are they wide enough to fit my set up though? I've seen them on 24"s and whatnot, but I've never seen a vee booster on a mod, might just have to make one, seems like the only option Cheers guys!

thispartisrequired Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 cheers boss! looks like the clearance is ok to, thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Czar Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 cheers boss! looks like the clearance is ok to, thanks again It does rub, but I believe its the front version of the Sd7, you can buy the rear version with longer arms for extra clearance and my wheel has a slight egg to it which doesn't help either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
