Equipment: XTR Carbon Booster Set of needle files Angle grinder 5mm drill bit Drill Patience!! Heres the results: Overall view: View from side - spacers needed to be 'edited' () with the angle grinder to make it all fit snugly: MASSIVE tyre clearance! Its pretty stiff too (no visible flex, like everything else ive tried before... except the XTR that i bodged onto my mates bike!)... and light as a porn star's muff (unfortunately cant take credit for that saying )... Wotcha reckon? Adam
well done sir! i may have to bust that shizz with my old xtr booster. im glad i snagged that for five bucks when i had the chance... hope the carbon doesnt start to fray or anything where the extra holes are. i suppose you could use a glue to kind of prevent that from happening too quick.
Yeah - im hoping it wont be a problem. It certainly wasnt on my Shitehurst (Bill Tongue) booster which has very similar mounting points to that hole drilled in the centre of the booster. A blob or two of araldite whould solve any problems there anyway. Cheers for the comments
Haha, i know what you mean. Apart from the booster i have... err... a DX rear sprocket (which is the only other good thing they make).
Ah, you aint seen my mates... He snapped the bottom mounting tabs off. Its SO low... and even stiffer than mine
I have one on my pure, I wud take a photo but I don't have a camera. I didn't use the origional mounting holes thow because I wanted it closer the tyre. It works nice thow, almost as good as my home made aluminium one!
looks cool adam, should serve you well as long as the old thing lasts, by the way, im sure i remember reading in a post on trials-forum you thoroughly disliked ground rims? seeing that picture makes me think youv changed your mind, hows that grind ?
I used to dislike ground rims. I now dont hate them quite as much, but at least i can ride in the wet. Give me a wide rim with a Ceramic coating any day though... But yeah... cheers about the booster, its holding up well so far. Adam
