So i'm happily running juicy sevens at the moment, got them very dialed, goodridged and dangerboyd. Been extremely happy with them and have a special love for my levers. Ive seen rennie and peats v10's running the code caliper with juicy levers, and wondering if anyone has any details on this setup, and if anyone knows if it will be possible to buy a code caliper alone, like i said im stoked on the juicys but still wouldnt mind a little more power for the front brake especially if i can keep my levers and save some cash. Basically i would consider upgrading to a code caliper in front if will it be compatible. will the feel be annoyingly different with a code in front and juicy in back, ive only felt a code on flat ground.

any insight, opinion, lame joke, or whatever would be sweet.

if im not mistaken sam was runnig ultimate leavers with his code calipers. so i would assume that seven leavers with code calipers would work, but i dont know. sorry im not much help i just figured id throw that little bit of info out there.

as far as i've heard they're sold complete. IF you wanted to run juicy 7 levers on code calipers you can but you're going to have to buy the code brakes, and sell the levers.

dude, u can always order only the code caliper as a spare part at ur bike shop...at least i can where i m workin at.
about the question: been thinkin about doing the same thing...If someone could open a code lever and see if the fluid volume displacement is the same as with the juicy levers it should be green light to trying...DW should have access to the info about sam bike right? please tell....pleeeeease

All Juicy and Code lever/master cylinders push the same amount of fluid so all are compatable with each other.

You should be able to have a shop order a Code caliper for you and it will work just fine with your Juicy levers. You will have to get a new line though as the Code caliper use a different hose mounting system (banjo) than all the other Juicy's.

I am currently running Ultimate levers with Code calipers and it is an awesome setup!

Hey doubledown, do you know the weight on that setup?

 

[frznnomad]

awsome thanks for all the info double down looks like i just figured out my brake setup for the new rig.

any negative issues w/ the CODE yet? alien sounds, choking turkey sounds or anything like that?

I am running an Avid lever body with a Hayes caliper.

Hey doubledown, do you know the weight on that setup?

I know the ultimate levers save a 1/4 pound over the Code levers, so you can do the math from there...

 

[frznnomad]

wow its that big of a loss i wouldnt have thought a half pound going with both the leavers. thats awsome.

 

[jvnixon]

its not 1/2 a pound , he said its 1/4 pound.

 

[frznnomad]

ohh woops my bad i thought that 1/4 lb was for one leaver. my fault guys.

that woudl be amazing though right

From what I understand from the SRAM seminar, they are interchangeable, but have a different feeling. The juicy's will have less power, but more modulation on the code calipers. They also said everything would be sold complete, and they didn't "recommend" interchanging them but that spare parts would be available.

here is the BTI page for that part...

Im sure Quality will also stock that part too if your shop cant buy from BTI.

well thanks guys, this has been a really useful thread

think ive found my brake setup for next season, probably buy one code caliper and see how it goes on the front, if i love it maybe ill get a rear too, and maybe ill hate it and end up selling the caliper but who knows, promising enough to risk it.
