Poor bleed/setup?? I found them to be extremely controllable, so much more than codes..The new saint modulation fells shit not smooth at all .

IMO juicy's are not great. Power is alright, better than hayes and older Shimano stuff, weight is good, lever ergonomics is by far the best, but they are unreliable and get mega brake fade after a day of runs, even under a lighter rider. The performance can get a lot better with non-stock pads though.Yeah, a little less juicy hating please. Im the owner of both 5's on my AM bike and 7's on my DH bike with no issues what so ever. Ample power, modulation and pretty light.
I agree, powerful brakes suck. I hate it when you apply the brake and it fells like you stopt in no tiem at all.The new saint modulation fells shit not smooth at all .
You can, and it saves about 100g over a 203mm rotor, but why would you? In real terms what it means is less power and more tendency to overheat. If you're Jared Rando, meaning reasonably light as well as ridiculously skillful and able to avoid ever dragging the brakes, then yes you can get away with it. The average person who runs 6" rotors on the rear of their bike (with any brake), in my experience, never has brakes that work as they could or should.A question about the saints, I seen in the lastest copy of Australian Mountain Bike mag that Jarod Rando is running them on that development Giant with 6 inch rotors on the rear, does anyone else run them on a 6 inch rotor? How do they feel? Are they just that powerful that you can afford to run them on a 6 inch?
Im getting new brakes this week and I need to know wether to get juicy sevens or saints? Ive heard nothing but great reviews about the saints but i think I might have heard something about needing saint wheels or something to fit them???
