Ozonys Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Simple really, do they work? I'll be getting my hands on an A3 soon and this has the built in booster set up but I've seen people running boosters on top of the built on ones on their frames. Does it vary from frame to frame or is it just a good idea to have one?Cheers Edit: spelling... Edited May 18, 2007 by Lushey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 well i have a koxx xtp mod......also has a biult in brake booster......and with those people who run a booster on such frames only really rund a booster to protect the crossover pipes...... i dont run a booster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest. Theres no need for me to protect crossovers either, braided hosing is the way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Of course they work. Do you honestly think they'd be a design feature in pretty mush all the deng frames this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 ^^^wow, did you design that? good idea, but dunno how you would stop the calipers rotating and surely they arent long enouth to actually set the brake up...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 They work in stopping the chainstays from flexing as much, but theres still going to be a slight amount of flex from the mounts and the bolts, something another booster would help to prevent. They're usually stiff enough to run on their own though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocalypse_reaper666 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I have a Czar Ivan and that also has a built in booster and there is hardly any flex. Not as much as on my old frame TA26 or that ive seen on other frames! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little bmxer boy Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 well it makes the brake better witha booster on it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 well it makes the brake better witha booster on it as wellDebateable. There are a number of riders who have found that with already stiff frames and supremely stiff boosters like the echo control 4 bolt booster and the heatsink booster that the brake performs better without the booster.There is a limit to stiff you can make a brake before it doesn't work as well.
