We will be in touch
When bleeding these (process is easy before anyone spouts some vitriol about bleeding avids) i can hear a hiss at the lever end near the pivot - does this sound right or like a dodgy piston seal?
The Elixirs on my new Stumpy needed bleeding when I got them.
I seem to remember one of them doing this hissy noise and I was a bit concerned, but it worked ok and has been fine since.
will keep an eye on it
bled my elixirs last night and noticed the same hiss, all seems fine, they work a treat, i wondered if its the rubber expanding and contracting in the lever.
Noticed the same when bleeding mine.
All seemed fine when the bleed was done and, thus far, they're doing a sterling job of slowing my 16 stone bulk - and they're fitted with SS pads 😀
Yep my CR`s do it and so do the girlfriends, the Juicy 7's on my other bike do it sometimes too.
