BTW, my email to Avid keeps getting bounced back to me...
My Avids work quite well, and I'm sure you will be able to get the glitches ironed out. These are great brakes. One thing that may not have been mentioned that I have had problems with in the past is rotor contamination. I don't think it's just an Avid thing, but mine are next to useless if they have any oil from hands, lubes, whatever on them. The reccomended course of action is to wipe the rotors down with alcohol, but I save that for drinking and just use automotive brake cleaner. Then I will scuff the pads with a piece of emery, around 120 grit or so, just to remove any contamination that may be on the pads. Try this if you haven't yet, and let us know how you do.
