...I recently bought a set of replacement pads for my AVIDJuicy3brakes. These came in at £15 for a pair for the front. They seem to vary in price by a few pounds, thi was from a well known online MTB shop in the lakes.
Being a discbrake novice I didn't have a clue how to fit them so rather than break them or waste time finding out I got a mate to do it for me.
Other than the actual fitting the one thing I did do was to lightly rub down the pads before fitting them. I was told this is a good idea as it reduces the chances of the pads glazing over and gives you better breaking power earlier on, guess this is like I used to do with my standard V-Brake pads. I think that is roughly 1000 miles of use on my old pads. I tend to change them early as I did with V-brakes, not sure that is necessary with discs though (not at this price...

Advantages: Easy to fit and maintain plus great price Disadvantages: Will need adjusting from time to time
...of lower-priced hydraulic brakes as an alternative to the BB7s, check out a set of Hayes HFX-9s or AvidJuicy 5s - both brakes offer quality hydraulic stopping power for only a little more money than the BB7s.
Durability:
Avid utilizes a series of seals on the BB7 calipers that keeps dust, grit, and mud out of the assembly and, as a result, I had no major issues with the Avid BB7 calipers during the product test. While I'd like to see greater durability from the pads - some sets of pads lasted a couple of months while others had a much shorter lifespan - the brakes themselves functioned the same on the first day I mounted them as the day I wrote this review.
Pricing:
Buy Avid BB7 discbrakes at Wiggle.com MSRP for the Avid BB7 discbrakes is £79.99 so they're affordably priced when compared to most of their hydraulic counterparts. Keep in mind...

Advantages: Fantastic bike for the money Disadvantages: Forks and tyre
...A super bike for the money. The M4 frame is top notch and is very responsive through the corners and when you put the power down no power is lost. The AvidJuicy3brakes are good to as you would hope although they have a fair bit of travel on the leavers before they bite.
The only components that let the bike down are the RockShox Tora 302 SL forks due to them not being so smooth in the travel, and the other problem I found are the tyres that are rubbish in damp off road conditions. They tyres are ok for dry conditions but in the UK when do we get those (very rarely).
All in all a very good fun bike for the money....

'''Introduction'''
I discovered this fragrance in Debenhams, London shortly after it was launched in 2006. Of the fragrances that came out at the same time, I like this one most. I didn't purchase it more
(nb. If you're easily offended then please don't read this as it's an honest review of a sexual lubricant for people doing product searches on the internet and I don't see any point in beating around the bush - pardon the pun)
