Im in need of replacement brake pads for my Avid Juicy 3's on 160m rotors; now ive never changed these before and dont know what i should be replacing them with? Looked online @ chainreaction etc and as per usual a complete minefield of different types....

Can anyone point me in the right direction or just take the stress out of this and suggest a particular pad - TA TA TA!

    Juicy 3 pads are the same as Juicy 5s and Juicy 7s. The OE Avid pads are not the same as the aftermarket Avid pads. I bought two pairs of these Avid Juicy 3 pads (not the organic ones) and they are just great. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver between the old pads to push the pistons back, pull the old pistons and spring clip out, put a smear of silicon compound or Copaslip on the back of the new pads and they just slide in...click.

    I got some from Superstar http://www.superstarcomponents.com/ much cheaper than the avid ones and work fine. If you go for the sintered ones they'll last longer.
