Anyone who uses HFX-9's will at one point or another have to fiddle with the leverage screw on these brakes. Granted when the lever pull is set to my liking the brakes perform unbelievably well. The moderation is great. After all most Hydrodraulic brakes are known for that. But after my DH runs I'm tired of pulling out the 2mm allen key and fixing the leverage. Last weekend after one run the levers hit the bars and there was no stopping power what-so-ever. Thank god the front brakes still worked.

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem with the HFX-9's. And what they have done to solve this problem. I'm thinking of calling up Hayes and getting it replaced. If its still under warranty. If that doesn't solve the problem. It's time for some new brakes. What would you suggest? Avid Juicy, Hayes Mag's, Hope m4? I'd like to keep it under 200 per brake. I might even wait till the El Camino's come out. Hayes seemed to do a good job on those. Opinions?
