Review
Threshold was the first to make this style of 4-bolt booster. It works - it reduces seat stay and brake flex, putting more of your finger-pressure into pushing the brake pad into the rim instead of flexing things. Braking will feel more solid, and your crossover line will be protected from your heels and most other things when you crash or ditch the bike.
One thing worth noting is that all Magura HS-33 brakes will flex on any frame, no matter how stiff it is, simply because the bolts that thread into the frame will flex. A brake booster, since it's mounted near the top of the bolt, will limit that flex, as well as some of the seat-stay flex. In my opinion, a brake booster is necessary on the rear of every trials bike with an HS-33. |
