Think i've got it down to 2 models....
Elixir CR carbon
and
Elixir 9 carbon
i think the '9's' are newer models but apart from that i've not got a clue....... ❓
Does anyone have any opinions on these 2 models they would like to share?
cheers
I'd go the Elixir 9's. The old CR's had issues that made them a nightmare to bleed.
Why Avids specifically?
Fiddly, horrible, unreliable nightmare IMHO of course.
(Cue someone coming along whose had them on a bike trouble-free for 57 years...)
I have been running avids for the last 58 years completely trouble free, bled once then perfick ever since!

LBS would do anything more tricky than replacing pads! 😀
Why Avids specifically?
Price mainly but i've also had Juicy 5 and 7's in the past and thought they were pretty powerful brakes. They would be more of a stop-gap as i just noticed i have a broken lever on my Marta mag SL's 😥
Buy something else (better) Hope or Shimano spring to mind as good options!
