Hi,
My Jekyll comes with my 5th set of Avid Elixir brakes (the CR model in this case) and i only can say that they suck!! ...I know that Avid has a lot of fans, but they keep loosing pressure, they need continuing bleeding, they make a terrible noise when they get hot, etc. So i change them for a nice set of Shimano XTR Trial 2011 brakes and all i can say is that they are amazing!!
But, this is not a review, i'm posting because i need some advice folks, therear adapter in the Jekyll is for a 185mm rotor, and the XTR is a 180mm rotor, so, there is a little difference and i can't let them perfectly mounted. I know that in march, Avid anounced that the new 2012 elixir 7 and 9 (C and CR) will be very different and they will come with 180mm and 200mm rotors, so, no more 185mm and 203mm rotors.
Do you know if Cannondale makes a rear adapter for 180mm?? or i will have to wait until the next year Avid brakes makes his debut and them Cannondale offers a rear Jekyll adapter for them??
Thanks,
Alex
