Hey guys,
At the moment I'm running some 06 Juicy Carbons on my Balfa. I don't have any real complaints about them, they don't seem to be overly powerful though (and I'm not huge) but they work well enough.
I've just been offered a deal on a swap for some pretty much brand new Shimano Saints, plus an extra $125nzd/about $100us my way. I'm in need of a bit of cash so I'm pretty tempted to go for it, but I'd thought I'd get a few other opinions first.
I've got a Deore brake on my DJ bike, I'm pretty happy with it but due to a broken wrist I haven't had much of a chance to test it out. I like the levers on my Juicy's a bit more though.
How do Saints compare to the Juicy's? I'm guessing they have the edge on power and reliability? (from what I've gathered reading around about them)
Just doing a rough add up of the weights of the calliper/lever/brake hose I've come up with a weight of aout 360g/end for the Saints, which would put them at about 80g heavier than a Juicy Carbon. Can anyone confirm these weights?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Sam.
