Fishwog Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 OK, I'm after some replies mainly from people who have used (on there own bike) an RB booster, AND an echo control booster. I have just ordered an echo control booster, and am currently running an RB booster. I am after replies to do with function mainly, as I have heard mixed replies about it. So, yeah, which on has everyone prefered function wise. I know the control looks beautiful, and comes with bolts that don't round off after a week, but is it good for flex? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan@Trials-uk Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hey After using mine I didnt like it much, it was to heavy for my liking and also it gets in the way due to it being soo beefy. I prefer a carbon booster does the job, not much flex and super light. I dont like super stiff brakes, i prefer a spongy brake :rolleyes: regards Trials-uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Dan, it's like 60-70g odd heavier than the average booster.... You wouldn't notice that, in any way. The hitting your leg statement is fair enough, but my legs are miles away from my current booster anyway, so I doubt it will be a problem. Cheers! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 yes. Problem? Your money? no (Y) ← my point was, why buy something and then ask what's it's like!!?? surely it would be better to ask peoples opinions, and then order it, depending on what you think about things other people have said? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! :S ← :rolleyes: well you did ask for my opinion (Y) well compared to a carbon viz one its alot heavier lol, and I like a very light stock and I try to save as much weight i can lol :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Got mine last week. Seems awsome, stiffer than my XTR carbon one, looks ace. :rolleyes: Good choice. Got mine (and my frame) from select bikes. (Y) Top geeza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
club_card Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I don´t mean to steal the topic but i was just wondering if anyone has used the echo team booster is it any good? i need a booster for my mod not sure which one to get this team booster seems to look the part but is it worth the money? once again i didn´t mean to steal the topic but it saves me opening up a new one (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 once again i didn´t mean to steal the topic but it saves me opening up a new one (Y) ← No worries :- I would presume your running two bolt then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Ooh i might have to get one of those beasts and sell my RB booster. Anyone know how much they cost? I havent searched but im lazy so its ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 they cost £30 from tartybikes, selectbikes and trialsuk Pauly (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
club_card Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 (edited) No worries (Y) I would presume your running two bolt then? ← no 4 bolt i prefer the look of the team because the control booster would stick up too much and look weird.

dave85 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 no 4 bolt i prefer the look of the team because the control booster would stick up too much and look weird. ← The team booster is 10 mil taller though.... (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 The control boosters are light, super stiff and they look rather good. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 The control boosters are light ← I wouldnt personally call 132g 'light'... but stiff, and good-looking they are! (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
club_card Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 The team booster is 10 mil taller though.... :- ← Oh right i didn´t know that :- anyway i much prefer the look of the team and plus its 70 grams lighter :- which actually probably wouldn´t make much difference thats only the weight of a snickers maybe a bit over but it all adds up (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 yes. Problem? Your money? no (Y) Regardless of that it still seems like a no brainer :- I've only used the RB Boosters, but they seemed to do the job pretty damn well, whilst looking the part. Though if I were to upgrade from that, I'd go all the way and get the Shimano Carbon, they're the shizzle :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Shimano Carbon, they're the shizzle(Y) ← They sure are... mines is a stiff mother f**ker and looks damn sexy (Y) :- Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 They sure are... mines is a stiff mother f**ker and looks damn sexy :- (Y) Watson ← I've got one, drilled to fit 4 bolt if anyone wants it. :- :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
