My Avid Juicy 7's are giving up on me and need to be replaced. Can anybody recommend/seen any outstanding deals on front and rear disc brakes at the moment. They will be fitted to a On-One Inbred (built with the help of the STW classifieds cheer guys), so mainly xc use.
Looking at spending aroung £150-£200 tops. Any disc brake recommendations also gratefully received
Thanks,
Andi
Service.?
They are at my LBS at the moment, back is leaking and the front pistons are going. They are ancient so think it best to bite the bullet and invest in a new set.
merlin have elixir cr for 185 or elixir 5 for around 135
Just wondered as some brakes can't be serviced. I replaced all the seals and pistons in my mono M4's and paired with a set of Kevlar pads they are like new.

These are considerably better than Juicy 7s in my opinion, and well under your budget:

Thanks for the advice and recommendations.
The Magura's at Noahsark look a good deal. I'll check out Merlin and Actionsports as well.
Thanks,
Andi
For your budget, my money would be going on the Elixers from Merlin, already mentioned

Buy my Hope M4s off me! E-mail me if you're interested 🙂
Just ordered new XT from bike 24 for £175, if they are half as good as XTR, they will be superb 😮
My default opinion about all components is you need a good reason not to choose Shimano. My XTs are six years old and going strong. One bleed on a back brake when I accidentally pushed the piston all the way out, no other problems whatsoever.
SLX full set are nearly half price on Merlin...
bigdugsbaws is that the new new XT M785, that look like XTR? Been looking at them on the 18 Bikes site...finger twitching...

Yup, the new ones
Fronts out of stock 👿
Let us know what they're like please!
Try www.bikecomponents.de they were cheaper the other day but had no stock at the time; this may have changed.
Mate I would swap you a used avid 203 disk for an avid 160.
I have those elixirs in 160/160 and they have stunning stopping power.
hehheheh!

Clarks Skeletal - comes with 2 sets of pads and a pair of colour matched grips. Did the Clik24 with 'em and hard to fault for XC. Change the mounting bolts though, because the supplied ones have are fromage.

Go for the Elixir 5's from Merlin, £130 delivered with VIP discount.
Proper powerful and great feel, just ordered my 2nd set to replace a set of SLX's
Thanks for all the links and advice, I'm erring towards the Elixir 5's for £130 from merlin as recommended by several of you.
Bargain and should be more than poweful for my local riding and trail centre trips.
Cheers Chaps.
