Check that your top jockey wheel has enough clearance from the cluster. There is a screw at the back of the derailer to adjust this Also check your hanger, maybe the chain is not running true through the jockeys. Might be scraping against the sides of the RD

My Blue Collar Singlespeed Almost everything bought off the Hub Chainring and sprocket are nine speed I broke up two old clusters, used some of the plastic spacers and ground some of the sprockets down and reconnected them with the threaded pin to spread the load over more of the freewheel. I cut off the tabs of an old 44 chainring to act as spacers so that I could use normal 3x chainring bolts My favourite component on the bike is the Juicy 5 caliper that got some houding from brake fluid erosion Next step is to wait for the right steel frame

Maybe you can figure out where the blockage could be from this. Have tried pushing fluid through from both directions? What happens if you pump the lever while trying to push fluid through? Is it possible to flush the lever with detergent? http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2012-avid-elixir-9-7-brake-internals-clear01.jpg Here is a link that seems will give you the best advice - the o-ring is possibly the fault, easy fix if you have an engineering shop nearby http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/avid-elixir-5-bleeding-problem

Seems like a known issue, will wait for the next generations before going 1x10 http://forums.mtbr.com/drivetrain-shifters-derailleurs-cranks/clutch-broken-xt-shadow-plus-859272.html Let us know what they say

I am "servicing" my F29 100Rl fork and am struggling to reinsert this retaining ring!!!!!!Solved - my bad didn't depress the piston far enough - actually really easy

Public road is for everyone, arrogant donkeyholes as well as cyclists in black!

I think it is the overfilling (bled too well) so will add a piece of cardboard on either side of bleed block next time I bleed

My elixir have a setting you can do with your fingers on the front of the lever

Tried with the lever reach no luck - just gonna ride to the top of Paarl Mountain and if they still "tring" along at the bottom, will sand them

Nice Pdf that explains a lot! http://www.evanscycles.com/product_document/file/af3/817/bdf/435/avid-hydraulic-brake-setup-guide.pdf

Ok then, substitute compresses with put pressure on or what ever happens when you pull on the lever to brake!!!!!!!!

Ok I am going to try this, maybe the lever adjust compresses the fluid a bit when adjusted closer???

Yip that's what I do with the Elixers, the Juicy's I adjust by eye
