Ok, so I picked up a set of Avid Juicy 5 hydraulic disc brakes. My brother has the hayes 9's which are supposedly on par with the juicy 5's, but my friend has the juicy 3's which I like more than the hayes, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with the Juicy 5's considering they were the same price as the Hayes 9's. Anyway, I ended up with the Juicy 5's and was excited to put them on my bike and...

Hi, I am pretty sure this is an LCM issue as my sidelights dont work at the moment due to the LCM. Anyone know if there is any danger of my headlights completely turning off? At the moment they flash on and off when i hit the brakes. what do we think?

im having an issue with my front end. when i go over pavement that isnt perfectly smooth sometimes i will get this vibration in the front end. Once it starts it might never stop until i put on the brakes. Just a light tap will settle the car and it will ride perfectly. also during the vibration the steering gets really light. the frequency is probably 80+ Hz when the vibration is not ...

A quick search proved ...

I am upgrading to a big brake kit that will be ready to be installed on my car by mid January. I need to sell my stock Sport brakes before so I can pay for the remaining balance. The brakes only have 6k miles on them and have never been tracked or abused. They are in mint condition. $1400 shipped for rotors, calipers, and lines. The only con is that you will not recieve my brakes ...

My brakes keep squeaking! So I changed my rears with the cheapest possible pads from pep boys. I Grease where i'm supposed to grease and the rear brakes squeaked! So I lube all metal to metal contacts again and no problems. I took my rig to the desert for the last three days and now they squeak again! Am I missing something here?...

A discussion on CrazyGuyOnaBike.com has one camp claiming that disc brakes shorten spoke life enough to eliminate the seeming advantage in rim life discs bring. Any opinions here?

Bindings are new, never skied. The wide brakes fit my 115-waisted S7s but can easily be bent to go wider or narrower. $90 shipped. See this link for more info, and PM if interested. http://www.rei.com/product/774539 Will also trade for some wider skins (188cm ski length).

My wife's 2001 XC70 has a faint chime when she lets off the brakes. It sounds like a faint warning chime but could also be a whistle, like maybe a hole in the brake line?? Does anyone have any experience with this or any suggestions as to what it may be?
