its the best brake out there. im using k24's and they are superb but had a go ont the one and they have the amazing modulation of the k24's but the power of codes. plus they look seriously nice.

Codes don't have that much power.

they do when set-up right. they are more powerful than juicy 7's and those are the formulas real competition although both are made by the same people.

Barely. Even Avid says that it's not much. I think they say something like 10-12%. I don't remember exactly. It's not worth a single gram over Juicies. Codes were a big letdown for me.

If you face the mount, grease all of the hardware, and grease the back of the pads they won't make a sound.

What type of grease do you recommend and what method should be used if the mount needs to be faced?

Codes or Code 5s are great brakes! i've been running my Code 5 for a year with no problems and i love them... also organic pads feel way better in those... just want to get Juicy Ultimate levers for them... and the main difference between juicy and code would be less heat on codes which means less fading... and supposedly better modulation...
