I would say Juicy 5s, since you can get them for $130 a side now. They are like the 7s, without the little knob. I don't mess with the knob much. I wish I had gotten the 5s and just set them up right and been done with it. The 7s stop really well.
"And of course, you get Avids Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System, which makes aligning the caliper about as easy as falling off a log. Basically, youre looking at a hydraulic brake that does everything you ever wanted, with a splash of Avid smarts."
So it looks like if I get these then Skookum will be able to intall them.
I was also looking at Avid Juicy XC for $139.00 at pricepoint.

Hey i bogued on the Shelton ride today, might be interested in doing it next weekend. You game Midge Master?
Yes it is possible but... I've been promoted to Shoe Seller in Chief and I am not sure how that will change my schedule. Hopefully the man won't keep me down.Skookum said:

HFX carbons are really good and really cheap. Cheap as in $85 a wheel... If you can find them, some of the Shimano 525's that come OEM on many mid-level bikes work just as well as the XT's, and are dirt cheap. The Shimano Deore hydro's are great too.
