Right basically my current brakes are crap and i want new ones for dh, i have shimano brakes on my hardtail and i love the feel of them, but i was wondering if i should get XT Deore M775 or 08 juicy 5's because my friend just got some juicy 5's and says they are amzing, but which do you think are better?

hey christo Big Grin I went from hayes 9s to juicy 5s ( i take it your hayes are hayes 9s?) anyways i loved my juicy 5s really repsonsive...wayy more power than i ever needed, and had good modulation was a quality brake. But now ive got the balfa im back on the hayes 9s and i love them aswell. They are a bit on/off though. Ive never tried the xt's before so i cant compare them. But the juicys have good modulation, loads of power, imo a very nice feel.

The XT's have the most disc/pad clearence due to the Servo design. They are the latest design.

the xt's are super noice... IM putting a pair on my intense m6. Ill tell you how i like em once i ride it.

edit: One thing about the xt's is that they dont come with housing or rotors.

I don't see what everyone has against hayes. They make solid, powerful and reliable brakes. And the new hayes ace four pots look absolutely sick.

But between avid and shimano, shimano all teh way.
