I have these brakes on my new bike, the rear one is aleady having problems and its only just 4 weeks old.
A really big vibration when braking at speed, a few other people are having the same problem...I'm going back to the shop next week to find out more/why...
Otherwise I think the brakes are good and perform well.
Not had any problem with vibration of my Juicy 7's, but they don't seem to be fairing up to our weather conditions too well.
Changed rear pads the other day - couldn't get pistons all the way back in. Tried to 'lube' them using several internet guides, but no success. Have bought bleed kit, but not done it yet.
Hope bleeding sorts it out, as when they work, they work really well. Everyone comments on how well they work, pads last a decent amount of time and the lever & pad contact adjustment is very useful.
