Yep, they do in fact work. Try with Avid speed dial levers.

do you wanna go that cheap? maybe try juicy 3's at least. the 3's are actually a pretty solid brake.

I'd rather BB7 than Juicy 5.

Also, not all brakes will work, most disks will work, though.

You could have contaminated the pads. 9's do not lack power by any means.

I'm using BB7 on my 07 DEMO8.
It's OK.
And I've tried Juicy5 and Juicy 3.
Juicy5 has a wider control range. The braking power ramps up a bit slower than BB7.
So I think they're both good brakes. But still, I prefer BB7 over Juicy5. I feel BB7 is more powerful.
Juicy3...mmm...crap.
Maybe I'm gonna buy a set of Juicy7 with hope floating disks later this year.

no i didnt i dint get a chance to clean it because trying to take of the front wheel i stripped the axle(20mm) and the other problem on top of not being able to stop DHing is the modulation is terible
