Yea now if only Avid didn't suck. 

I don't plan on ever purchasing a Shimano, even tho the XT cranks rock, product again. As for FOX, they have nice clothes. SRAM made some iffy brands into the top brands. My Lyrick fork is the best one I have had so far. Well besides my FOX 40 rc2 but that is another story......

I know... that bike deserved better, but noone wanted to buy it, so I did what I had to do.

I'm nothing but happy with my Code 5s.  I'm probably going to grab some Elixer CR levers.  Elixer lever modulation + Code power = Pure Awesome.

I had nothing but problems with J7's so I got some Formula's The One brakes. There is no other brake that can compare that I have used. Lot's o people like the Elixers tho.

I've got the Elixir CRs.  Between the winter and the wet spring I haven't put much trail time on them but I'm happy so far.  I hope I can better test them out in the next couple weeks.

my brother in law got juicy 7s and they drove me nuts trying to get them set up but since they've been set up they've been pretty good to him.

I've ridden a bike with The Ones but I can't really judge them since the owner probably went too high with his rotor size and they had too much power to have any kind of modulation in the conditions I tested in.

I really liked the lever feel of elixers when I tested them but didn't like that with a 8 inch rotor they didn't seem to have the power of my codes with a 6 inch.  I'm hoping my franken brake will be the best of both worlds.
