Juicy 7s are great brakes.

Mine are great.
squeaky when wet though.

Can't go wrong with either Avids or Shimanos, although Shimanos use mineral oil, and not DOT brake fluid, so a leak on Shimano brakes are less toxic.

I'm very happy with mine. If anyone knows, did they last make them for 08 but still produce them? I got some new, and I know new, as the LBS had to order them for me. I can't find 09s though.
