What You Need to Bleed Your Brakes Avid Elixer

If you do a little research, you'll find all sorts of bleeding and performance issues with Avid Elixir brakes. I've come to the conclusion that every time you upgrade your Avid calipers, you need to redo the seals to get that new feel. I've tried bleeding and filling so many times but the results have been lackluster. Maybe the rubber they use just isn't durable or something, I'm not sure. But every time I've cleaned the calipers inside and out with brake cleaner and replaced the seals, I have perfect brakes again! So you have two choices I think: buy new brakes that use mineral oil or top up those kits. Hopefully. works for you
