 Posted: Tue 5th Aug 6:34pm Post subject: Avid Juicy Pads Squeaking |
  |
|
|
I have avid juicy 7's that make a hell of a racket, especially when wet. Currently has genuine avid pads fitted. Anybody had any luck with a different brand of pads that helps with noise and performance?

Spelt "Vesrah" though 
Yeah - Juicys are notorious for their noises. One of the many reasons I got rid of mine

My juicys on my Dj bike were making a lot of noise and had lost a bit of bite so i took it to the shop and they found i had munted the seals so they replaced both ends under warranty.

They are wicked pads I just put a pair in the front of my DH bike, they definitely feel snottier than the stock pads 
I haven't ever really noticed noises from the 4 pairs of Avid's I've owned

Glazed pads maybe - very common problem. Pull em out and give them a light sand , see if that helps.
My Juicy Ultimates did that after a run down Vic Park - after the smoke cleared they squealed like you wouldn't believe. A light sand sorted them
Just a thought .

nah, my juicies used to squeal all over the show with the stock pads... especially if there was a hint of moisture anywhere.
Put some vesrah pads in and they have been great every since.
