got a new bike coming in a week or so - it's got XT disc brakes fitted which I'm led to believe are very good? However i'm a big fan of the elixirs fitted to my other bike and am considering selling off the XT's as soon as I get it to buy some elixirs... My thought being that having the same brakes on both bikes will good for familiarity.
How do they compare? - should I give the XT's a chance ? If I keep them does it mean another bleed kit to purchase?
I'd say the XTs were the best brakes you can buy and if someone would buy my Juicy 5s I'd gladly swap them out. Avid feel just doesn't compare to Shimano.
XTs seem well regarded. At least give them a go I'd say.
But yes, Elixirs are good too (just had some CRs fitted).
elixirs and juicys are very different IMO - had 3's and swapped them out for elixirs which I think are awesome
Anyone know about the bleeding issue?
elixirs beat XTs IME
