Цитата:
For the first ride, we headed out to a local trail that had recently been reworked for some 20+ mile cross country action. I spent some time at home breaking in the pads and rotors (slow, downhill, constant stops over and over again without lockup) before we left so by the time we got to the trail…the brakes were ready. As you can see from my Avid Juicy 5 brake review, there were several things that I was going to watch out for that normally plague Avid hydraulic brakes.
Noise – Specifically the turkey gobble.
On/Off Feeling – Little modulation between full on and full off.
Power
Since the Avid Elixir CR brakes are marketed as an upgrade to the Avid Juicy brakes, I expected these to perform. So far…I am plesently surprised. The first ride went flawlessly and here are my notes.
The new G3 rotors are quiet…even when wet.
The Avid Elixir CR brakes have much more power with 185mm rotors than the Juicy’s at the same rotor size.
Modulation is greatly improved on the Avid Elixir CR vs. the Avid Juicy line.
Overall lever feel is also much better.
Trail side adjustment is tool free and easy on the Avid Elixir CR.
Not everything is positive though…
The pad contact adjustment on the Avid Elixir CR can rotate on its own if you do not tighten down the star bolt on the barrel body. I suggest that you tighten it just enough where it does not move freely but still twists for trail side adjustments.
The Avid Matchmakers still put the SRAM X.0 trigger shifter pod too close to my hands. My thumb was rubbing up against the large paddle shifter while riding.
So as you can see…it is “so far, so good” with the Avid Elixir CR brakes. More riding and time is going to be the true test against noise and durability. Stay tuned for more ride reports as this testing progresses.
