Date Reviewed: June 7, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | watchung(well, used to be. . .) | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | strong, light, does its job incredibly well | | Weaknesses: | doesnt look as nice as some other boosters in my opinion | | Similar Products Used: | magura boosters | | Bike Setup: | xc and just ridin around | | Bottom Line: | the tektro boosters are fantastic at what they are supposed to to. i havent gotten to use any of the various carbon fibre braces available, but of the few al and steel ones i have tried(although i only own these and the magura steel ones)these are the best. they are less expensive than the maguras, they weigh less, and they are more rigid. theres a no-brainer if you ask me! its a great product, if you ride maggies, you havent really been using them till you throw a set of tektro's on top of 'em. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 27, 1999 | | Duration Product Used: |
less than 1 month | | Strengths: |
-Very stiff (6061 T6 alloy)
-Very light (28.2g)
-Increases stopping power while reducing frame flex.
-Tons O' braking power. | | Weaknesses: |
-Requires readjusting of the brakes for proper fit.
-Tons O' braking power.
-Is there such a thing as too much power? I doubt it. | | Bike Setup: |
Mrazek frame, Manitou FS-Ti Palmer.
Flex completely dissapeared after installation. | | Bottom Line: | This is a great product. They're 1.8g lighter than the 30g Magura alloy boosters (no big difference), but cost $10 less, each. In my opinion, they also look better, with a cool textured surface. Definitely a must-have, if you don't mind re-setting-up your Maguras (AAARRRGGGHHH!!!). | | Overall Rating: |
