![]() I have one bike with Avid BB7's and one with Juicy 7's. And besides, I don't like disks all that much, I'm not too good at getting adjusted quite right. And my xtr's work fine, my environment is mostly dry (Southern California), and I've never had problems with my rims grinding away. I'm sure the new ones are more betterer at other things, but without all the platforms engaged, the new ones feel too squishy for me.which is why I liked the iDrive in the first place.Ĭlick to expand.Well even if I unscrew the bosses themselves, there's still an inch long cone sticking out on both sides. With that said, I still prefer the original iDrive for most trail riding. ![]() Second, I think all the newer designs were built with different shock rates to make them MORE active and use platform shocks, whereas the original ones were designed when platform shocks weren't around yet.thus making the design and rates of the suspension responsible for the platform. Plus, the new designs use far less parts, creating far less exposure to support issues. With the giant bearings they had to use and all the complex machining (just take a good hard look at your eccentric from a mechanical perspective.) to produce the parts, it wasn't sustainable I don't think. I think there were a couple of primary design philosophies when they started with the re-design.įirst, the original one with the eccentric was very complicated and difficult to manufacture.
