Nope but I'll be getting my first pair of disc brakes on my Hollowpoint. I can't wait.Originally posted by Squeak
Anyone have info on these new brakes? I saw an ad for them on the back of Dirt Rag.
Damn, I really need to get that damn bike.Originally posted by sub6
there was an article on HCOR a few weeks ago, I don't remember a whole lot about it other than they're called "Juicy" and (remarkably) they have a manual pad adjustment like the Mech's, despite having an open hydro system. How they pulled that off I'm not sure but it sounds REALLY cool for increasing lever pull and eliminating pad rub.....
Stosh after going to disc brakes, you will probably NEVER want to go back, it's a whole other world....
Yes, they'll be available in 160/185/203 rotors.Originally posted by Squeak
Wonder if they will have a small XC version?
True...I have a set of brand new Avid mechanicals but I'm too poor to buy a new wheelset and an FSR adaptor for my XC bike.Originally posted by sub6

Maybe with my tax refund...(if any)
After tasting the joy of disc brakes last year...I have a hard time enjoying v-brakes now.
They are not even released yet Gecko! Give us SOME time, man!
Well they're called the juicy 7 and i saw them at avids tent at sea otter they said they retail for 250 a pair and will be availible sometime in the summer. They had them on a stand and i tryed them they seem realy nice with a really even contact on the disk.Originally posted by Squeak

250 for a set of hydro disc brakes is expensiveOriginally posted by JMAC

I think they're a bit expensive but otherwise i think they're cool.
yeah but i'll bet dollars to doughnuts that they weigh in less than 260 grams or comparible.Originally posted by the BIG cheese

250 would be cheap for both front+rear but it's 250 each wheel so 500 for a pair.Originally posted by the BIG cheese

They look more like magura rotors to me. Wavey rotors have been around for years though.Originally posted by Drunken_Ninja
those rotors look like a rip off from xtr though. I would have figured avid to come up with something more original than that.
ummmm you are talking about the hydros right?? b/c if you are talking about the avid juicy's which i think you are, well then you're wrong. the rotors look NOTHING alike. and i honestly doubt that they'll come out w/ a revision of the juicies next year. only b/c they have been working on this single product since 99 and have had so many different verisons of the brake it's insane. these brakes are goin to be well worth anything avid sets the price at!Originally posted by Drunken_Ninja

they have that thing with upgrading their product and redesigning everything from year to year too. I bet that $180 price will come down by alot over 2 years if that is the case.
i have a solution to your problem. Ride around on a bmx bike for a week or so (god u-brakes are horrible) and your vee's will feel amazingOriginally posted by FlipSide
