Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good pads for Avid Elixir 5

These pads fit well and work well. I haven't had any noise issues and braking performance is fine. I had trouble installing the pads, but it turned out the problem was that I had too much brake fluid. This was easily remedied by unscrewing the bleed screw on the master cylinder and draining a drop or two of brake fluid. This allowed the calipers to retract a little more, giving me the extra clearance I needed. If you're new to hydraulic disc brakes, they're difficult to set up at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's manageable and well worth the effort.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Nothing here
