I bought avid juicy ultimate front and rear brake set no upper clamp to secure brake to handlebar, match maker setup was used. How or where do I find oem clamp?

I am assuming you are looking for the clamp portion of the brake lever.

If you do a google search for the following you can find several options on-line, or go into your local bike shop and have them order for you, they may even have in stock if they do alot of work with Hydraulic brakes.

Search: Avid Juicy Brake Lever Clamp or Avid Hydraulic lever clamp.

Here is a link as an example of a result.

Avid juicy sevens remain tight against disc

Juicy's are prone to sticky pistons.REMOVE pads,clean calliper ,pull lever lightly and add a drop of hydraulic fluid to the edges of the pistons to lube.Recess pistons,wipe off excess fluid and fit pads.If this doesn't work they might need bled.

Brake pads dont retract

Avid Juicy five system leaking fluid

Your brake failed and you need to take it to a good bicycle repair shop in your area. Hydraulic brakes on bicycles are not easy to self service as you need specialized tools and the proper replacement parts.

My Avid Juicy 3 front brake seems to pulsate when pressure is applied to the brake lever and the braking is very uneven...almost like a pulse of sharp braking at one point of revolution. Is there an air...

The brake disc may be warped from excessive heating. This may be caused by a dragging brake pad. the disc may have been bent from an impact.
This can also be caused by the pins holding the brake caliper being stuck. Try some WD40 on them and tap them (gently) to free them.

Brake pads are shut fairly tight. Can't get disc

Your brakes adjust automatically (so when the pads wear down your levers don't get looser). What you did was pull the brake lever and it adjusted making the pads shut.

Anyway all you need to do is take a wide flat-head screw driver and wiggle it back and forth between the 2 pads.

Bought a set of avid juicy seven ultimate brakes,i squeezed the brake lever and now the pads are shut tight how do i slacken them off again!

take the wheel out insert a very large flat bladed screw driver up into where the rotor would sit and lever the pads back in very gently with the screw driver.

if this does not shift them they will need re-built by a Sram bike shop.

It sounds like you have a piston that is not fully returned and is sticking.

Get a big flat bladed screw driver, take the wheel out and very carefully insert the screw driver into where the disc would sit and use the screw driver to try and push each brake pad back in without damaging your brake pads.

If this works go to a local bike shop and ask them for a avid brake insert for transporting your bike so this does not happen in future! :)
