I am considering the Avid Juicy Seven disc, but since they are still pretty new, I don't know much about them. I would be using these brakes on a Blur that I use for XC riding, and some 24-hour racing. Does anyone have these brakes? If so, would you please comment?

ThanX! :)

Yeah the brake levers suck, they break too easily.

Ah, I remember reading your post about breaking levers. I couldn't seem to find the post with a search, though.

So, did Avid replace the levers for free? How long did it take to get new ones? Other than the lever problem, how do the brakes work?

ThanX!!

I'm still waiting for them, I gave up on them and got hopes instead.

That's a real bummer - I think I'm going to cross them off my list. How do you like the Hope discs?? Did you get the Mini???

ThanX!!!!!

i just picked up some mini's for my new burly hardtail. my friends run them all on their dual slalom/urban bikes and love them. they just told me to sell my new avid's i have sitting in my room and buy some hope's through them.
