Safety inforMation
Brakes are a safety-critical item on a bicycle. Improper setup
or use of brakes can result in loss of control or an accident,
leading to a severe injury.
Avid brakes are a performance product that offer increased
stopping power over brakes that you may be use to. This
greater power requires less effort to lock-up a wheel when
braking. A wheel lockup might cause you to lose control and
possibly cause injury.
It's your responsibility to learn and understand proper
braking techniques. Consult the owner's manual for your
bicycle and a professional bike dealer.
Practice your riding and braking techniques on a flat and
level surface prior to aggressive riding.
The effectiveness of braking is dependent on many
conditions over which SRAM has no control. These include
the speed of the bicycle, type and condition of riding surface,
braking lever force, proper installation and maintenance
of brakes, brake lines, hydraulic fluid, levers, brake pads,
condition of the bike, weight of the rider, proper braking
techniques, weather, terrain, and a variety of other factors.
Avid brakes and levers are not intended for use on any
motorized bicycle or vehicle. Such use could result in a
serious personal injury.
ALWAYS RIDE UNDER CONTROL
Remember, it takes longer to stop in wet conditions. To
reduce the possibility of an accident and minimize trail
erosion, you should avoid locking-up your wheels.
Do not touch the braking surface of any rotor with your bare
hands, because the oils from your fingers will degrade its
performance. Always wear gloves, or handle the rotor by
its spokes.

Juicy™ Ultimate, Juicy Seven & Juicy Carbon User Manual
Avid disc brakes are designed as a system. Do not use
components from a manufacturer other than Avid within
the system.
Avid disc brake rotors are compatible with 44mm, 6-bolt
international standard disc hubs.
We recommend 32 or 36-spoke wheels with a 3 or 4
cross spoke lacing pattern. Contact your specific wheel
manufacturer for more specifications.
DO NOT USE RADIALLY SPOKED WHEELS.
USE ONLY DOT 4 OR DOT 5.1 FLUIDS WITH
AVID DISC BRAKES.
Do not use a fluid other than the DOT fluids suggested.
Doing so will damage the system and make the brakes
unsafe to use.
DOT fluids will damage painted surfaces. If any fluid
comes in contact with a painted surface (i.e. your frame),
wipe it off immediately and clean with isopropyl alcohol.
Do not allow any brake fluid to come in contact with
the brake rotors. If this occurs, clean the rotors with
isopropyl alcohol.
Do not allow any brake fluid to come in contact
with the brake pads. If this occurs, the pads are
contaminated and must be replaced.
warning
Disc brakes become very hot during use. Do not touch
the caliper or rotor immediately after use. Make sure the
brake has cooled down before making any adjustments.
