Avid Juicy/BB7 Disc Brake Pad reviews and deals for sale

great braking power

I put these on a trail bike with 185 mm rotors and was very impressed. I did not get any stickers unfortunately. How am i supposed to rep this item without stickers?

Brakes are good

Standard brakes that stop you and your bike! These are a far better option than eating bark! Nothing fancy, basic brakes but they work well! The last pair of these pads lasted me a solid 4 years riding 3-4 days per week.

Easy to install and dependable.

Fit my Avid Juicy 5 brakes and were super easy to install. I went with the metal option for extra durability.

Cheap, Functional Brake Pads

At the suggestion of my bike mechanic I got these in the metallic because they should last a little longer. A good investment at the beginning of a bike season. The metallic brakes get a little noisey but they certainly work the way they should.

Organic vs Metallic

Great pads that are very easy to install without the help of your local shop. Reliable stopping power. I personally prefer metallic over organic. I don't mind a little extra noise to know that I have better stopping power in all conditions. --Know your pads-- ORGANIC PROS: -Quieter-Shorter break-in period-More initial bite-Prevent heat buildup-Pushes heat back into the… read more rotor ORGANIC CONS:-Wear quicker-Not as good in wet/muddy conditions Use these if you are a lighter weight rider, and riding where lots of brakes are not required. METALLIC PROS:-fade at a higher temperature than resin pads-better performance in wet conditions-last longer METALLIC CONS:-louder-longer break-in time-not as much initial bite-heat is conducted through the caliper, not the rotor Use these if you are a heavier rider and/or riding in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions. They are also a lot better if you are running small rotors, or are on a long descend. Also recommended for touring rigs.

Choices.....

Organic/semi-metallic/resin pads are softer and tend to be quieter. They offer more initial bite, but fade faster than metallic pads on longer descents. Do not use organic/semi-metallic/resin pads in wet conditions. Metallic/sintered pads last longer, handle heat better, and resist fade better under heavier braking loads, making them good for downhill. In wet conditions, metallic… read more pads are a must.

great brake pads

These fit my avid juice 7 brake system like a charm. I don't have any complaints, they fit and they work as advertised.

awesome pads, 1000s of ks

if you buy these, it means two things: you ride a lot and your pads last a while. both are good things, and one of the reasons I stick with juicy and bb7s for all my bikes. Easy to rack up 10000km without having to change pads, and the number can triple on the road. Pretty easy to change with just some pliers which is nice in the field.

Great Pads

Killer stopping power. Last a long time (metallic). Easy install for the most part.

Are the Avid brake pads universal for all...

Are the Avid brake pads universal for all levels of the Juicy line? More specifically, are these Avid brake pads compatible with the Juicy 3s?
