Hi,
I need some brakes to replace the Avid juicy 3's and have no idea what's what anymore in the world of MTB components due to going to the dark side (sorry!) a couple of years ago. The 3's are pretty good in dry dusty weather but when i ride in bad weather like the weekend just gone at Coed Y Brenin, they just lack the instant power like my old Hope's used to which really fatigues your arms when you're not used to this type of riding!
I dont want to spend Hope money and have heard mixed opinions about XT brakes. What do you guys recommend? Are they Avid 7's much better? I want 160mm F&R too
