No, they aren't out yet. Nobody will have them in stock for a little bit. Notice that page has an "add to watchlist" tag on it.
god those brakes felt so amazing at the worlds
They are indeed quite bitchin'. They feel like shimanos, only without the slop and squeaks that can develop at the lever.
"wait, but beyondbikes says they got them" HA! LOL
Isn't beyond bikes the company that likes to screw people? Amazing that they have them, but the distributors do not.
Beyond bikes says: Normally Ships in 0-4 Weeks. In other words, they do not yet have them.
yeah that is what so funny about my statement, but here check it out it makes me laugh:

they say you will get them 0-4 weeks, more like 0-4 months

beyond bikes has zero stock. they claim to have every bike part though... they suck balls. big ones.
Yup, SRAM was saying they'd be shipping them hopefully by mid November.
i know that santacruz bikes has some along with many other trick 07 parts 
Sure, OE clients get stuff months earlier than the public.i know that santacruz bikes has some along with many other trick 07 parts
cool mid november is a good time they are a little expensive though.

wow thats alot of posts
wow thats alot of posts
talked with hawley this morning about availability
"few more weeks at best"
"few more weeks at best"
sweet
BTI and quality also say anywhere from a few weeks to mid november
i've been reading alot of posts saying that the codes are avid's real DH brakes and that juicy7s arnt. any reasons why other than brake fade? i'm still planning on using juicy7s just if theres some critical problem whcih i dont think exists it'd be nice to know
awsome i guess i might have to talk to qbp soon then and see when they are planning on getting them. hey atleast avid acctually has there 07 stuff on there website and we can expect the stuff before christmas.:biggrin:
avid has never said that the juicy 7's were for dh use. the reason i would assume that the codes are considered real dh brakes is that they have more power, same modulation as the juicy line, and well of course less brake fade and all of this is due to the 4 pot design i am assuming.
^like i said, i talked to quality (QBP) this evening and they said it would be between a few weeks from now and mid-november
of the big three suppliers, hawley seemed the most enthusiastic about getting them somewhat soon....

forgive me if i ask who are the three big supliers and who do they supply to?
Since when is Hawley on the list of the "big three suppliers"?
QBP is the biggest, BTI is number two, and I would hazard a guess that KHS is number three (not Hawley). These are the wholesale distributors that only sell directly to bike shops. The general public can't order from these companies.banchee man said:
oh right if you are a bike shop you order one or all of those "quality catologs" yea arent those things expensive
QBP for the win, unless your only ordering one thing, then BTI ftw
QBP? BTI? ftw? forgive me for sounding like an idiot what do these mean, did i miss the memo?
they are companies. They each have a catalouge in 99 percent of bike stores. They are bike shops main 2 suppliers for medium-high end goods, i.e. suspension products, 8-9 spd drivetrain systems, high end wheels etc. They usually arent the best prices for lower end stuff like generic seatposts/handlebars, cheapo derailleurs, 50 dollar wheels, etc. qbp= quality bicycle products, bti=bicycle technology international?? not sure. Google them.
oh, ftw its a pro gamer term, for the win, nothing to do with biking
yeh sorry missed that post when i posted. although i find it hard to believe that a distributor like hawley is gonna get a set of codes before bti or qbp ???????? ohh well i dont work for them so i dont care who gets them first as long as i can get them soon.
hey no need to bust my balls or anything, im just trying to help out and let everyone know when distributors are expecting the product
true, but you can order from your lbs
ok ok, maybe 4 or 5....they are still up there though
I see everything more clearly
nothing new last time i checked
anyone else heard anything, availability updates?
anyone else heard anything, availability updates?
lil' dave just got his.... so nice....
yea, go to jensonusa.com and universalcycles.com
go to your LBS there in stock at qbp,sbs and i think cyclone
The ones I rode had modulation. It wasn't the same type of feeling as my saint's, but it certainly was far from on off. They felt solid, controllable and powerful. You didn't seem to get the same sort of "feedback" you get some shimanos for whatever reason. They felt a little vague. Hard to explain.
The levers themselves felt amazing. Nice shape, good fit, the avid mechanism for the lever is really cool and is much more ergonomic than any other brake on the market (literally). It doesn't simply pivot in due to how it is placed outboard of the pivot point. Absolutely no slop due to the 3 bearings they use at the pivot...no bushings in sight.
All in all, very cool brakes and i would highly recommend them as longa s all of the durability issues that brakes can see pan out.
The Codes are sweet, I've been riding mine all weekend. Lever feel is really good, modulation is great, and the overall power is even better. I put mine on, cut the lines, rebled and got them dialed quickly and they were pretty solid right away. The new breakaway design is cool too, top notch brakes. QBP told me that I god their last set for the time being, they sold out really really fast.
what does that red dial do? Does it soften up the lever for people with short fingers? Im in the market for some new DH brakes and these look to be the ticket.
