Juicy 5 or 7?

rowlers

Are the 7s worth the extra over the 5s?
Don;t really want to scrimp on the component of my bike build, but equally don't want to waste money if there is little benefit.

I currently have J3s and am more than happy with the power and reliability (touch wood!)
Want to stay with Juicys as I have the bleed kit and spare pads!

any thoughs?

I've got 5's on my Trek [180 front / 160 rear] and they are more than enough to send my 14 stone frame over the bars if i pull them too hard!!

Been spot on so far. Think the 7 get a bit more adjustability for the bite point - waste of time to be honest. Keep with the 5's.

yeah...save some cash and go for the 5s.

cheers for that, more money to go elsewhere!

I had 5s on my old bike,new one came with Ultimate 7s,absolutely no difference in stopping power and the pad adjuster is a waste of time.Save the cash.
