I have bought Kit 104 - which is the one reccomended to me for Avid Elixir brakes, however the connectors at the caliper end don't appear correct.

As anyone had similar issues ? Can it be done ?

Thanks

From memory, 110 was for Avid Juicys. I can't confirm that the connectors are the same though.

104 is for Magura/Shimano

or 108?

sorry I can't help more, who told you that the 104 kit was it?

Both Goodridge and Chain Reaction said Kit 104 was the one for Elixirs. But now after contacting both companies, there seems to be confusion from them both if they actually make a kit designed for Elixirs...so left a little up in the air......

there is no kit for the elixir brakes. the 104 kit will fit at the lever but goodridge don't have/make a suitable connector for the caliper . . . yet
apparently they are working on it

Cant you just use your old connectors?

Yeah it fits lever end, but not caliper.

Apparantly you can't use the Avid factory connectors because they are crimped to the hose ????
