Avid Code 5

[buildyourown]

Anybody ridden them yet. I know they are an '08 product but they are on ebay already.
They look like a Code caliper with a juicy 5 lever. Do they have the same power?
Since the bearing in the code lever did nothing to reduce lever slop, I'm thinking these would be almost as good.

If you preload the bearings on codes by tightening the bolt you can dial out the play.

I got a rear one when I messed up my juicy 5. It has much more power and modulation than the juicy. Plus the 4 piston caliper is sexy. The only downside is to reposition the line you have to undo the caliper bolts which means bleeding them, but not that big of a deal.

I have had them for over a month now and luv them. Awesome stopping power they stop my fat ass 235lb on a dime.. The pad adj not a big issue for me and like was said you can preload the bearings.. So far no issues at all besides sick stopping power. I had juicy 3's and fives before this so I am not new to avids.But in my opinion best brakes for the $$.. You can get them on Ebay for $240
