A break booster usually fits in between your brake stays using the brake bosses as your mounting point. It prevents the brake stays from flexing and losing power

Lightweight replacement horseshoe, in case of an encounter with an equestrian in trouble.

It reduces the flex of your cantilever stub axles if the v brake is engaged.
In essence it reduces slag in your brake lever resulting in increased power and precision during braking.

That’s for when your cycling mates want to engage you in a classic game of horseshoes. You use your QR axle as a post and you all take turns throwing your horseshoe. Last one to hit a ringer buys pints at the end of the ride.
