i have the trails. don't have a word against them and the reach adjusters are a really good feature
i havn't really used the Juicy 3s apart from a wee feel on a mates bike, they seem pretty responsive but i havn't used them in riding0 -
I put stroker trails on my Trance last year and they've been fantastic. Just one teeny problem when the retaining circlip popped out of the cylinder body and let the lever and pushrod swing away from bars, the cycler and my fingers. It was the front brake, and I was halfway down the Sppoky Woods descent at Glentress. Yikes. We bodged it back together with a couple of knife and a screwdriver and it hasn't budged since.0

Hayes Stroker Trail definatley - try Merlin0

the stroker trails are very good brakes just dont make the mistake of buying the rydes as they are utter cr@p IMOI̶m̶ ̶t̶i̶r̶e̶d̶

just a word of warning, IIRC the ones on merlin that are cheap have quite short hoses...0

Yeah strokers all the way and the cheap ones are very short from merllin they are short for my 15,5 Handjob well the front is anyway but still graet brakes0

Whats so bad about the rydes?
Its just my opinion but I have had nothing but trouble.. there a pain in the @ss to adjust, not very powerful etc
the trails on the other hand a very good infact Im looking at selling my rydes to get trailsI̶m̶ ̶t̶i̶r̶e̶d̶

Can't speak for the Trails I've got Rydes on my HT and Juicy 3s on the full susser and I'd vote for the Juicys. the noise off the Rydes when it's cold or wet is horrendous. The Juicys have far more modulation and are just as powerful. Setting them up is far easier with the tri-align system0

Trails are much better than the rydes tho.
Bro has trails on his kona stinky....they're awesome.0 -
I got both of them. I would say trail for better level design for my big hands and plenty of modulation power.0
-
have tried both, juicys on my own bike and stoker trails on a few of my mates bikes, i would take the juicys purely for the longer brake lever, but thats personal preferance, on performance they seem almost identical to me0

both are powerful but trails has better modulation tho. That is useful for downhill riding.0 -

Good or bad brakes are almost entirely down to setup*. Whether the rotor is in the middle, air in the system, pad wear, pad angle, hose route etc. I've had Juicy 3s that feel fantastic, the ones on my missus bike feel equally fantastic, my Tektro Aurigas still feel fantastic too bizarrely.
I personally like Shimanos for the nice rotor clearance, less arsing around, they can be awkward with certain types of shifter designs though. The Avids are fine though, very tidy little brakes, fit well with any shifters, very easy to find bleed kits for etc.
I could be wrong, as far as I know the biggest difference between Ryde and Trail is the contact size on the pads, I think the trails suffer less from overheating due to this. The piston size is also bigger meaning a bit more power behind them.
*unless you're talking about single piston brakes or something
