Let us know what difference it makes. I will be suprissed if it makes
much difference, but it may. The KH29 frame is amazingly stiff, compared
to my brothers bike, there is no flex in the frame at the breaks. My
brothers bike frame flexes loads, my 07 KH29 doesnt look/feel like it
flexes at all.

Although saying that, when I adjusted my breaks so they were only just
off the rim, I think I got them to touch as I pulled away.

I put everything together during the friday, but there was no
motivation to ride because of constant raining... :-(

From just goofing around in my apartment it *seems* that:
* Frame flex almost nonexistent (1mm, can't see any) now (before it
flexed about 3mm on each side if I squeezed the lever firmly). So whilst
the KH is stiff the Maguras put lots of stress on any frame (even 2wheel
trials frames use boosters and they are designed for a sport in which
you really need a lot of braking power...) You really hear the
distintive clunk now when the pads contact the rim and the the lever
will not budge any more. I expect the feel to have improved and the
noise to have gotten more dull, as this is what happens on trials
bikes.
* The horrible squealing has subsided, but I'll not assume it's gone
until the pads are worn in to then new adjustment...
* Sanding the rim seems to have made the biggest improvement, but since
I did all at once I can't verify this.

I'll report back once I've gone for a proper ride. I'll try and post a
pic also, the booster looks really nice on!

mine don't make any noise - they are sitting in a box- I don't miss
them.
