It's Soooo Juicy!


I don't know if you realized that the Fezzari Alta Peak is equiped with hydraulic Avid Juicy brakes. This is a pretty sweet set up. I've been using mechanical disc brakes before but now I know why people love the hydraulics.

With mechanical brakes, you pretty much have to work on keeping your fingers pulling thus making your forearms pretty tired.

But with hydraulic brakes, you just need to tap it ever so gently. Not much effort there. In fact if you slam on the brakes, they react pretty well...too well. So be carefule with the hydraulic brakes, they might be too strong for what you're used to....oh they are so smooth!
