take your rear wheel out of the frame and pull your rear brake lever, this will push the pads very close together and then take a small CLEAN flathead screwdriver and push them apart just enough to fit the disc again that will tighten up the feel.

yeah.. sticking a screw driver between your brakepads will probably be a lot more helpful than getting air out of the system.. what was I thinking.

It is just a suggestion as a quick fix for his problem. Eventually they will nedd to be beld but the season is almost over so might as well ride and get them bled over the winter.

Doesn't matter I'm taking the pieces of shit off and putting some codes on.Really disapointed with the Juicys.....hate to say it, rode my Hayes for 3 years and never had a problem, I heard all this shit about how Juicys are way better and more powerful bla bla bla... load of shit to me so far anyway. I'm going to try these codes and if they aren't right I'll be going back to hayes!

no brake will have any power if the pads are contaiminated. im hoping you checked that before posting about how bad they are....ive had juicy carbons on my bike and they are plenty powerful. im probably never going to switch from Juicy brakes, they have served me well, are easy to maintain and parts are plentiful.

Bleed them and break them in. You'll be happy.

Hey guys

Any brake will work more efficiently if you have it properly bled by an experience or qualified mechanic. the reason for the spongy feel is that there is air in the system so a bleed will sort this. Sram have even posted a video of a step by step guide for people on youtube. i would recommend you to get a bleed kit and do it yourself or go to a well recommended bike shop to have it redone.

i use juicy ultimates on my 4x and xc and they work more efficiently than the brakes i have had in the past easy to maintain and bleed when needed. power wise i run the juicy carbon lever assemblies on avid ultimate calipers on my dh bike and the are plenty powerfull enough. but any of the juicys you can make work just as well with the correct setup and bleed.

Hi Guys, one good and fast way to break in new pads is to just take a small bottle of water and as u ride, pour some water where the calipers meet the rotors while cycling slowly and brake a few times.. I guarantee that if you are not careful, u are gonna has an OTB experience.
