They were OK in their day (5-6 years ago) but are spectacularly outclassed by cheaper brakes these days. Deore are cheaper and far far better brakes.
Juicys - great whilst they work, after that then well...not worth a scabby carrot i'm afraid.
I've had Juicy Fives and I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole - terrible to maintain.
I love the Juicy. Never had an issue with mine.

Ahem. I beg to differ. Replaced my Juicy 7's (serious sticky piston syndrome) with Elixir 5's and put the Juicy's (excluding rotors) onto eBay thinking someone might want them for spares and I might get a tenner for them...
[b]They went for almost £40!![/b] And I put a detailed description of their condition & operating state. I think I even said that they would work as they are, but expect some proper disc rub....!
These brakes really seem to divide opinion.
I love my 7s and following their first bleed in 3 years they feel as firm as a horse rider's buttocks again so once again I think they're great!
IMO early ones were very good, but they got worse in later years. I had some of the original Juicy Carbons, and they were fantastic! 2 sets of Juicy Ultimates were very good too.
So I under-valued [i]your[/i] scabby-carrots 😉
