    Says extensively tested in Europe and beyond, has anyone seen one and/or played with one?

    Yeah i've ridden a demo set. They were quite well made and seemed to work fine. A very progressive lever feel, a bit like my old xtrs. I prefer something a bit more snatchy but they're still pretty decent in use. The pad retraction certainly seems to do the job. Not to sure about the plastic lever body though.

    £240 for f&r at 300gm an end seems like a weight weenie bargain.

    The reason I ask is that both my Juicy calipers have seized pistons and while I've bought one piston-kit I'm struggling to get the old pistons out – and I've always hated the way that its such a bitch to replace the pads, even in a nice warm garage.

    So looking for something differnt, and use Ashima rotors already.

    Or has anyone got a spare pair of Elixier calipers?
