How come your selling the strokers? I just got mine going and they feel really good. (BTW thats a really good deal)
 
Don't like the lever pull. going to get another set of formulas or juicys.
 
Hmm, interesting. The one thing that I really liked about them was the lever pull. By chance did you give them a chance to bed? Mine took more than a few heavy braking sessions to get the lever to stay firm and for the pads to bite.
 
never used em. not much of a hayes fan, lever feel feels fine while the bike is sitting, firmness wise.
 
Understandable. Personally though I found them to feel very nice. The radial design for me at least allows for a much better and positive lever pull and feel. As well I didn't feel like the brakes were going to throw me over the bars when I start pulling the lever, but as I pull and pull the lever stays nice and firm and slows the bike down tremendously, excellent modulation without that super intimidating initial bite and/or soggy lever. Also I like how well the pistons/pads retract when you let go of the lever, gives the rotor some room to spin even if it gets slightly bent, plus there's absolutely no drag on the rotors. When I first put them on, the lever pull felt great but when I went down my first hill I nearly looped it because the pads hadn't had a chance to bed in and the bike would not stop. A few hard braking sessions later and they were good to go.

Hey its all personal preference though :thumbup its a great deal for somebody. BTW are they the white or grey ones?
