Brake booster for xt v brakes parallel push??

[kyle888]

I'm looking for a brake booster for my xt v brakes I've just put on my new trials bike I've just got.

1) will any booster work? Or will it hit the mechanism for the parallel push?

2) are there any specific ones for the xt/xtr v brakes?

Hopefully there is a solution when i use the rear brake the frame bows and it doesn't take much pressure to do so. Don't want to spend loads though only >£10

Thanks for the help

Just space it off more and use longer bolts.

If your on a budget, use a stack of stainless washers rather than spacers.

It doesn't need much to clear the linkage :

Hi thanks for the reply i did notice the spacers when i was searching for a booster after i posted this so did think it may be ok. But now this has confirmed it thanks.

Your going to hate me but I threw some standard spacers away about there weeks ago ...

Ah that's ok i have found a nice beefy alloy one on ebay which comes with spacers and bolts for £9 delivered from germany looks pretty thick!
