hi windfox...nice ride you have there....Have you considered the Hayes Stroker Trail , was told it's better braking power compared to Avid Juicy 7.....and also a tad cheaper than the Avids....

Thanks for the advice, I ended up going for the Avid Juicy 7 and I can only compare them to the old Magura Louise that came off and they work extremely well! I got the 7's for half price at an estore clearance sale, I have no complaints about their stopping power.
