Laurence--Trials Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Avid BB7, not bb5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I had a Juicy 3 once and I thought it just wasn't good enough for trials. Try and get a BB7 rather than a BB5. You get more adjustment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max.BMX&Trials Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 i managed to get my juicy 3's working very solid after a bit of maintenance and it was worth it there working pretty good now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph82 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 buy his bb7 and get a disc from tarty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt94y Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm currently running a Juicy 3 on the front, It works quite well when bled properly and the pads have bedded in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 ive had about 6 sets of juicy 3's and juicy 5's in my life. on trials, DH, jump bikes and cross country bikes... and they were ALL SHITE! i hate juicys with a vengance! they have a stupid and over complicated bleed technique. most leak like a sieve and lack power. ive had BB5s and could not recommend them enough, they are awesome when set up right! im sure BB7's are just as good. just make sure you dont get a cheap chinese copy from ebay. hope this helps.

NatalieWhite Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 From my perspective Avid Bb5 is definitely better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 My juicy 3 had a bit of problems at first but after rebleeding it and changing the disc which comes with it, it has become absolutely phenomenal. Nice feel and good power (for front anyway). saying this, either brake will work fine if set up and maintained properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza pro series guy Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Avid mechanicals are generally better than their hydros so BB5/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
