| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $16 |
| Purchased At: | A$34 (discounted) A$56.95 (normal price) at HiWay Cycles |
| Strengths: | - Stiff. - Resonably light but light for a metal booster. - Good range of colours (I got the SID Blue one). - Mounting hardware included. - Tyre clearance better than a carbon fibre one that was next to this but it had on mounting hardware. |
| Weaknesses: | - Abit pricy if it wasn' discounted. - No instructions on the packaging. |
| Bottom Line: | - Stiff and sexy like functional bike porn should be. Salsa's Arc-de-tri-omp petty cool and similar price |

| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $35 |
| Purchased At: | local bike shop |
| Strengths: | stiffness, look |
| Weaknesses: | price (should be somewhat lower - currency ratio was not good for USD at the time) |
| Similar Products Tried: | Tektro |
| Bike Setup: | Refitted Giant Boulder |
| Bottom Line: | Every booster bends unfortunately (especially with Avid arches), but this one gives substantial improvement over plain Tektro. Finally I cannot fully squeeze rear brake lever and it yields in brake reliability. Beacause of price I'd recommend Roox only on rear brake - fork is usually stiff enough - so add overweight only where it's necessary If you need quality booster - this is the one. |
