SAFETY BRIEFING.
- Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
- Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
- Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
- When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
- Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
- Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
- Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

i have just had a scout around the SRAM/AVID web site and can't find anything about piston sizes and service kit, but i did find that the Juicy 3,5,7 carbon and ultimate are all talked about collectivly.
if i remember rightly they all use the same caliper but have different leaver and resevoir assemblies, it is only the downhill top of the range anchors that are 4 pot's and the rest are 2 pot's, so best guess is they are the same but maybe Mark T can confirm this.
just found http://www.sram.com/_media/pdf/avid/dealers/2010%20Avid%20Technical%20Manual%20English%20final.pdf

I only speak Shimano these days, and nobody asks me about these 'cos they don't go wrong...
