  1. Hi, Need assistance with rear caliper mount on an Avid Elixir 1. Bought a set few weeks a go, but tried to fit it on the weekend and realized that the mountings on the rear caliper and mountings on the frame are different. Mountings on the caliper face downwards, whereas the frame mounts come in from the side. Is there a mounting adaptor tat will fix this, or this just not going to work on this frame. Frame is a 2012 GT Zaskar pro 9r Any help will be appreciated.
  2. Hi Gents, need some help here from the tech guys. Okay, first, I'll admit, I also own a mtb, for those who didn't know. Long story short, I cant get the rear brakes to center. The bike stock comes with 140mm rotors, however when I bought it it had 160mm rotors and the caliper was bolted onto one of those 140->160 thingies. I've taken the calipers completely off, tighten them again but as soon as I do that, the whole bracket underneath the screw moves the caliper against the rotor, with a half a turn back it rectifies itself, however it moves again when I ride. and I have constant friction between pad and rotor. I've given up riding with my 29er for now, and riding my trusty 26er without issues. So please advise what else there is I could do. Thanks, have a great Friday and an absolute brilliant weekend.
  3. Say hello to SRAM Guides. Spotted here on Velovert.com, it looks like SRAM are finally releasing a new brake to their lineup. Or are they ditching the old Elixir lineup altogether? Click here to view the article
  4. I've recently brought an secondhand 2011 Giant Anthem that has Avid Elixir CR brakes. Needless to say, I'm not very happy with the performance of the brakes .. besides the fact that they are almost never quiet. Is there something one can do to fix the performance and noise issues ? Does not look like the brake pads needs replacing, but maybe there is a better brake pad that does the job better? My first instinct is to chuck 'em and go XT, but the budget is not looking so great right now. Then again .. I would prefer to leave the tree-hugging (due to bad brakes) to the greenies. What do you recon?
