juicy 7 or slx?,mainly for comuting/training help me decide guy's
For commuting and training? On road? Why do you want so much brake if so?
If it's for a mtb the answer currently is Formula Oro from the Formula factory store, no competition IMO.
For commuting? So therefore lots of use and little TLC if anything like my commuter. Avoid the Avid as the pads are a PITA to change, and are a nusicence to bleed.
Not tried Shimano.
Formula are good but probably not for your purposes, nice but pricy for a commuter.
slx
SLX are awesome and a flippin' bargain. But be complete over kill and wasted for commuting.
"nice but pricy for a commuter."
Set of Oro K18s with full kit is cheaper than a set of bare SLX just now. Not that either make much sense for a commuter.
Go for a manufacturer that uses mineral oil not brake fluid. That's Shimano, not sure about Formula.
Brake fluid is a pain in the arse. Hygroscopic and it f**cks your paintwork. Mineral oil is pretty much maintenance free and doesn't do any damage.
A no brainer really.

Fair enough.
I've just been looking for some R1s for the spare bike but they are £silly. Just about justified them for the race bike. Lovely brakes though.
its just i have both so i'll sell what i dont use just cant make up my mind as not ever used either.
