Hi,

A little while ago I popped some CAD images up of a booster I was working on. I thought you might want to see where it's progress to: I've finally got a batch all CNCed up here in the UK.

These will be coming back from the anodisers at the beginning of this coming week, and a number shipped over to Ken at the Trialsinshop Canada and Byron at Whack Cycles.

They weren't cheap to make, but I just had to follow this body of work through to it's conclusion :)

why it is only for 26 inch bike? no for mod?

The geometry for the Mod version is 95% there, and will definately be available in the coming few weeks. It will have a higher and wider arch. Initially I was looking at producing a universal booster, but I found that a booster that fits both stock and mod just compromises both set-ups, so it's best to produce seperate boosters if you want it to do its job properly.

I'm also finalising a Vee version, which is has slightly longer legs and is also narrower to suit the typical brake mounting ranges for these sorts of frames.

I'm looking forward to having a complete range of boosters to suit all popular frames - Give me a few weeks to triple check dimensions and schedule the maching, and I'll be there :)
