Ive got J7’s on my Pace, and Elixir CRs on my Flow, and imo the elixirs are much better. Less initial bite on the Elixirs, but much more power available. The carbon levers are very nice too, and they’re aquite a bit lighter.
The J7s have a habit of developing that “ting”y noise too if you run them well bled.
However if you manage to pick up the J7s a lot cheaper then i would go for them. I bought my CRs for £110 an end, but wouldnt want to fork out £150 for them.
Also the Straitline levers make the world of difference on the J7’s, transformed them.
