Hi All,
I have a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Elite 2010 Mountain Bike and need to change the back brake pads. Rear Brake:Custom Avid Elixir R SL, alloy backed semi-met pads, 185mm. I need to get the brakes fixed soon so I can start tackling the cycle cross season!
So far Sylv and Ilija have tried to help me with limited success unfortunately... the issue has been that the back brake "pushers" have not been retracting fully back and so the pads are scrapping the brake rim!... in our attempts we have managed to bleed the oil out of the back brakes!
Is there anyone that has experience with bleeding/refilling Avid Elixir brakes? I have no kit, so if anyone has the kit/know how and is happy to help us out that would be much appreciated!
I live in South Croydon and am more than happy to come out too you!
Thanks in advance!
John
