Avid Elixir 5 brakes
I have a set of Avid elixir 5 brakes on my Giant anthem x2 2011
They make weird rubbing sounds when i brake, especially my rear brake
is there anything i need to do to make them perfect brakes?
Elixir <> Juicy hose swap?
So... I've purchased a set of ElixirR brakes and fitted the front one to the Yeti - all good.
Ah... but then came to fit the rear and discovered the hose is around 20cm shorter than that on the Juicy 7 that's coming off there. Doh!
AM riding: Avid Elixir 'v' Juicy 7
For an All Mountain bike with 185mm disc front and 160mm rear... would you rather use Juicy 7s or Elixir R? Has anyone ridden both on a similar bike to compare?
The point being, I was going to pick up some more 7s for another build but thanks to someone here will pick up some Elixir cheaper so now have a set of each and using the Elixir on my 575 becomes an option.
I'm really very happy with the 7s to be honest and think I'll keep them where they are. That is unless anyone has a good reason to try the Elixir on Mr Yeti?
Opinions?
