V Brake Booster

Hi
Certainly feeling quite a bit of flex with my V's (Marinovative Cheap Tricks) on my Kona Kilauea...are brake booster thingies any good? Any recommendations?
Cheers, Carl

In my experience they do help. They result in less flex and better feel.

Footwork brake boosters are very stiff. AC's are pretty stiff as well.

Also tried a lower end booster called ''Lizard Skins'' (by Acor). It defo stood the test. Stiff booster.

I do not know the Marinovative brake exactly, but I consider the booster most recommendable when they bolt directly to the stud (like with DX or XT m730 cantis) and the brake isn't between (like XC Pro or XT V's)

Boosters do work, definately stop a lot of the flex in stays and on the forks. There's Acor and Outland boosters on E-bay, Â£5, lots of colours.
