Just worn through the pads on my Juicy 7's.

Are Swissstop green pads worth the third extra they charge?
It's taken 6months to wear through the normal sintered set, and they worked ok.

Any advice appreciated...

    depends weather they stop you harder or just supposedly last longer for the same power. if they work harder go for them if they last longer not really worth it.

    While I'm not a mountain biker, I think everyone should have the best brakes available.
    Spending bunches on carbon and titanium this and that and then skimping on the one
    real safety feature on bikes doesn't make sense to me.

    my juciy 7's when they get wet make a loud screaming sound it said its to do with what the pads are made from i really dont like 7's Hayes 9's DH have much more stoppin power i feel and regulating the power it much easyer on 9's avid just dont have it right on the 7's or 5's
