    Or just get value for money and order some of these awesome stoppers:

    the ones you linked to should be fine as all the juicy ones are the same except for the ally backed light weight ones. also the BB7 are the same.

    according to the link they are for ball bearing brakes, it doesn't mention juicy at all, which is what made me think. i have got a pair of old ones here and they are definately different to the ones pictured, so i dont think i'll risk it, i have bought them before at chain rection as they are cheaper than anywhere at £ 44.99 for 4 pairs but no point if they dont fit

    dont worry

    the text is censored .

    BB5 pads are nothing like. and BB7 have the same pads as the juicies.

    I hope you sent them back.

    I know a couple of people who've had a set fail....new set, no questions asked 3 days later. They really do have awesome customer services.

    They did have a few issues with one batch but most of my riding buddies use these now and no issues with the new batches.

    And for that price they really are very good value for money.
