Can anyone tell me where to get seal kits (lever and caliper) for Juicy Three's.

 

It doesn't really matter where in the country as they'll need to be posted anyway.

 

Thanks.

I can guess the outcome!!

So after another brake question thread turned into an Avid bashing thread, I reckon it is time for the handful of guys who like Avid brakes to stand together.

 

Hi, I'm Philip and I like my Avid brakes.

 

Maybe you wouldn't need that avatar if you'd been riding XT?

 

Coat, hat, door.....

 

BTW, I have a complete set of Avid Elixir 7's with rotors, 160mm I think. Ridden for around 250km. Anyone got some cash to part with?

A big. ..rather make that a huge thanks to Swissvan for sending off a set of Avids for me that he offered up a good while ago and also going waaayyy out of his way to assist me.

 

Two thumbs up Mr Swissvan

I'm not sure if I want to join you guys, I guess I qualify because a bike I own has Avids ( which are crap). But seriously guys you've named this the Avid Appreciation Society which has the acronym AAS. I suppose crap brakes are closely related .to AAS but I'm not sure I want to have any part of AAS unless it is the derrièreof the female variety .

nope, rock climbing incident.

 

if you price it right you should be able to move it quickly. Don't be greedy though if you are in a hurry.

ASS or ARSE maybe if you are referring to a derriere.

But AAS is well Afrikaans for bait.

As in you have been caught hppk line and sinker RR

Had the same Juicy 5's on bikes since 2007 and they're just fine.

 

Except when you send them to SRAM to be serviced. That will teach you a lesson about doing stuff yourself.

Glad you got them in one piece and hope they perform.

Actually came close to flogging them in switz...need the money for some TT wheels

BUT a deals a deal .... Let me know how they work out.

Anyone know if there is a Specialized Epic appreciation thread...

Got a Spez Epic S Works 2004 (V Brake) in excelent condition, reluctant to sell but need the $ for TT wheel set.

Thanks again Swissvan. ....The brakes were fitted last night and based on the 00:45 am ride around the block feel great!!!!

[Hairy]

Update.

 

First cycle in being a commute on the bike.

 

The brakes feel just right, good modulation, power on demand and the lever feel is perfect .... just like the codes on my MOTO

 

Thanks to Flowta for the 6 bolt 185mm rotors.
