It needs a link to it's own website.....is a sticky this site needs.
Likewise..I've got problems with my Avids...........i just cannot seem to get them to make noise or need constant bleeding :noidea:
What am in doing wrong guys?
Posting on Rotorburn instead of riding at a guess. Did you work in a foundry perhaps or maybe with live ammunition - that sort of work history seems to silence brakesI've got problems with my Avids...........i just cannot seem to get them to make noise or need constant bleeding :noidea:

:doh:Or, perhaps we need a sticky with some actual useful information to help people
Ahh, why not.....Or, perhaps we need a sticky with some actual useful information to help people with common avid problems that don't contain a bunch unhelpful "just by XT's" comments. Then we can have another for the Shimano fanboys can pat each other on the back and talk about how great they are.

No, it's usually not founded on anything like that. It's usually from people who heard bad things on the internet.The advice of just buy XTs is usually from people who have gone that route for you
Not sure what you're trying to say there.Ahh, why not.....
If you don't have any problems with avids, no noise , no sponginess etc, then you don't need any unhelpful posts. BUT, if you have a noise issue, you can get organic pads which MIGHT fix it for you, if that doesn't, get some thicker rotors eg the shimano rt76s to get rid of the noise. I did all of those things and still ended up with XTs.
The advice of just buy XTs is usually from people who have gone that route for you, lived it, looked back and wish they had taken the early advice of suck it up and spend $200 on XTs, but they didn't . Most is hard won advice not idle I've read this here etc etc.
Liked my avids when they were working and there wasn't rain - awesome feel, love my shimanos betterer.
Or skill and technique...braking technique and ability to ride sections all has an effect on how and when you brake. I still have not perfected braking, I use too much rear brake and not enough front.i think a lot of it comes down to the old adage "a good tradesman never blames his tools" and too many blame their own inability to perform basic setup and maintenance on the brakes themselves.
