Fancy updating my Juicy 5 brakes.

Have found Avid Elixr R at £140 and XT 775 at £150, tempted by the XT's. Anyone got any experience?

Someone will be along to say new XT from Rose bikes in a mo. V cheap. I'd buy a new set of elixirs from the classifieds for about £90 though.

Rose bikes about £5 cheaper, but out of stock 🙂

New XT m785s from rose bikes- the 775s which I had on before were good, these are better.

Catfish - Interesting point about the M785's, I thought it was a typo because the Shimano website only lists 775's

Correction, M785's appear on the US site, but not on the European one
