I'm sick of constantly p155ing about with my Avid Juicy brakes, they leak and constantly require bleeding.
Made the mistake of upgrading from Juicy 5s to Juicy 7s and they're just as bad.
I'd prefer something that uses mineral oil as I just think DoT 4 brake fluid is totally unnecessary for a pushbike (plus I don't do any downhill racing...).
I also think the DoT 4 fluid is corrosive and the Avids just aren't designed properly to keep it in.
Do Shimano still use mineral oil? I had an old set of Deore hydraulics that were faultless - never went wrong, never needed adjusting, just the odd set of pads now and again.
