As per title really. I'm not getting along with my juicy 5's so i'm going to sell them on and try something new. I have elixir 5's on my pitch so they could be a option. Anything else around?
Whats type of riding, budget & weight ?
It's for my full blown team DH norco so anything where pedaling isn't needed 😆 I'm looking to spend as little as possible but if needs be up to around £130 and i'm 12 stone
Guys I went to the Mega with this year were using XTs with 200mm rotors & had zero problems, I'd imagine they'd be a good choice at your weight/budget.
Shimano slx or XT from Rose bikes
i had the same problem with juicy 5s on my norco six so i replaced them with second hand hope moto V2s with vented rotors; paid £200 for them but they're in as-new condition and the increase in stopping power over the avids is bonkers!
Saints from CRC 114.95 - dunno if they've still got both front and rear in stock though
I've rode the saints and I kept getting the feeling that they were simply too powerful for me. And £230 is too much for me

I'm just back from a week in Morzine with those. No problems at all with 185/160 rotors.
