Code would win that battle for sure, but as a juicy 7 rider, I could hardly believe there is a better brake for the price.. Hayes are poo...

I say this as a previous owner of hayes..

i dont feel lliek reading everything but if your thinking about the juicy 7s just get the juicy 5s same exact thing they just dont have the adjustment... which you wont ever use cause the break pads self aline them selfs to do wear

i have nines on my hardtail, and they are super reliable (for me at least) the nines suck for any type of ridng that requires alot of braking, but other than that they work fine. I dont own jucies, but ive ridden them and dont like them. they seem to be either on or off. I just recently got the stroker trails and they are amazing, no fade on long runs, plenty of power, excellent modulation, and the lever feels so natural. I absolutely love my strokers. I vote the strokers way better than jucies or nines.
i have that same opinion of nines and juicys as i also run a nine on my hard tail, but yet to try a stroker

i actually think that a well set up juicy seven could take down a code. thats just me but my buddys got codes 7s on his sxt and my juicy 7's are just as good

9's versus juicy 7's
thats like comparing a flinestones running foot car to a mercedes or some shit like that.
juicy's. more power, more modulation, more adjustmenst, they don't self adjust, no brake fade, better feel, better brake.

I perfer hayes 9's over juicy 7's when both are well set up.

Jiucy 7's tend to fade alot faster than 9's did. Always have to be pumping up the brake on long 30 minute dh's and stuff, Hayes held up way better in that respect. Hayes also had a more crisp feel to them than 7's which I prefer.
Juicys 7's win out so far in parts not breaking and pads etc. lasting longer.

In the end - I wish I hadn't wasted my money on Juicy 7's and that I had bought Oros instead when I replaced my 9's.

the only reason they were fading was because you have to bleed them after 20 hours of riding. then they dont miss a beat

thats not true. the 7's are a bit lighter and they have alot more stopping power ofer the two
