i’ve have bit of prob with my avid elixir 5’s….They have been fine for 1.5 years, but just come to put a new set of pads in and I can not get the friken pistons to sit far enough back to get my new pads in.
Have had pads out and pumped some lubricant at the pistons while i squeezed them out. Have had old pads in and used phat flat bladed screw driver trying to push the pistons back in. But they just will not sit in far enough for the new pads…..pads go in, I can only just get the disc in, but it is tight as and the wheels hardly turn!
Dear Singletrack forum please help me!
