Hey
Firstly i know this should be in parts and stuff, but i figure putting it in here i will get the information i need rather than, OMG these brakes are the shit on my dj bike.
Well here it is, ive been riding juicy 7's on my xc bike for awhile now, although they are good brakes, when something goes wrong with them it seems to be complicated to fix the problem. Along with the pulsating rear lever and the horribly bad stock pads, i've almost had enough of these brakes.
What can you guys recommend for an xc bike, that will be used for general xc riding and racing. I need something that is extremely reliable with some decent power. Heres what im thinking, some shimano XT with regular levers and 6 bolt xt rotors. Has anyone had experience with these doing xc riding or racing? How are the stock pads for xc riding? What is the lever feel like? Comparable to Juicy 7's or better? Are they lighter than Juicy 7's? Feel free to give opinions on other brakes aswell if your love them. However they must be extremely reliable, easy to setup and bleed.
Thanks for all your help
Chris
