    product not available to purchase.

    Also avid brakes are well known for there bad reliability.

    If you don't do much maintenance go with shimano or formula.

      +1 to avoid Avid, I've used Juicy 3 & 5s and they were terrible. By the end of a long descent you would be pulling the brake levers to the bars and nothing would be happening (+/- exaggeration). I've used $60 hydro's (Clarks S2) which performed better (they have actually been the most powerful brakes I've tried).

        New Elixirs are so much better than the juicys or older Elixirs. (Which weren't that bad if you kept them well bled)

          i've just moved onto a bike with avids. coming from a history with shimano, i honestly hate the guts out of my juicy sevens. brake pad retention mechanism.. does that exist?!?!

          i ordered the elixirs because they are cheap. i hope i get more than what i paid for :/

      mate i'm really sorry about that, didn't realise it was taken off!! :( (pricing error, perhaps?)

    I like my Juicy 5's but they do take a fair bit of tlc. There are better options out there now.

  • gordy_au on 08/02/2013 - 09:49

    Never had a problem with my Juicy 5's and they have been though a fair amount of abuse!
    Maybe I got lucky? Brand aside this seems like a good deal if this what your after.

    Should be marked as expired "Product no longer available for purchase"

    I thought Avid had a good reputation, seems I got the wrong impression.
    What would people recommend for a MTB with ~2009 Sram X9 & Shimano XT components, was thinking of the Elixir Carbon, but not now after the above comments :-/

      You can not go past a set of M785 XT Brakes or if you are very flush XTR but you are only saving on weight.
      Best bet is to get them from CRC or similar. I have the XT brakes and they are brilliant !
