PhilipV Posted September 18, 2013 Share So after another brake question thread turned into an Avid bashing thread, I reckon it is time for the handful of guys who like Avid brakes to stand together. Hi, I'm Philip and I like my Avid brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh0 Posted September 18, 2013 Share I have Avid Elixir 7SL's on my Stumpy FSR, and I love them! They feel great, modulation is top notch, and they are ambidextrous. No ugly side specific reservoirs...... Quite compact too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Bru Posted September 18, 2013 Share My avids make bird noises all the time. I guess I could say I like that..... But I feel like that would be like sugar coating a turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 18, 2013 Share My avids make bird noises all the time. I guess I could say I like that..... But I feel like that would be like sugar coating a turd Change your rotors. Or better yet, clean them, and sand down your pads. Maybe your pressure washer dislodged some *** in the process of washing and they are now contaminated... The warbling / bird sounds are down to either contamination, the design of the rotor (old ones were particularly bad - change to the Ice Tech rotors and watch that noise disappear) or cold brakes. Also - it happens just after you've cleaned your brake rotors with Benzine / Acetone. Yikes, that was not a lekker experience. But it lasted 1/2 a ride...

Pain or Shine and Capricorn have them on their bikes. OMFS. DROOL. Puts my 5's to shame, not that they're a bad brakeset, but has made me buy a new set of better quality pads.

Those fit Avid Elixir pads? if they do, pm me an address - I will send you some EBS metallic pads to try - traded 10 sets for a bottle of wine a while back.... (ok - one hell of a bottle of wine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
