new brakes required

disco41

Hi
Ive got an 06 fire mountain with crappy mech disc brakes
I would like to upgrade to something that stops me, thinkin of Juicy 5 or maybe wait for the new one from Hayes to come out
Anyway any one with other thoughts please.

Shimano Deore are cracking brakes at a great price

Juicy 3s are cheaper than 5s and identical apart from the clamp that holds the lever to the bars.

no they are not.

the internals are different as is the lever. they are a heaper version of the 5 and are not as good.

didnt feel any different to me when i tried them out. I wouldnt say the 5s were any better, certainly not woth paying more for. The Juicy 7s on the other hand were much nicer than either of them

and the 5's and the 7's are identical except for the adjuster!

strange, the 7s feel much nicer than the 5s which didnt feel any different to the 3s
