The upgrade bug bit me hard recently.

Went full SRAM X.9 (minus the front derailleur) a little while back, and just today after having MORE PROBLEMS with the friggin' Hayes Sole setup ordered the Avid Juicy 7 XC hydros front and rear. 315 bucks with shipping from pricepoint.

Not the most sound financial decision I suppose, but what the heck - I love riding, and this new purchase should solve my last real gripe with the NRS...leading to happiness and prosperity :D

You won't regret the avids. They took some time to break in, but the control and power was unheard of haha...Even with my left hand (slightly disabled) I can one finger brake from 60km/hr...that has never happened with any other brake I have
