Avid Elixir Disc Brakes

There are several different types of Avid Elixir disc brakes for sale – namely the Elixir CR Mag, Elixir CR, Elixir R and Elixir 5. All the models are hydraulic disc brakes rather than ball bearing. The price of Elixir disc brakes for sale depends on the exact model. For example, Avid Elixir R front disc brakes will cost around $200 in most cases. It’s important to look at the different features of the various Avid Elixir disc brakes as well as what they are intended to be used for. For example, the Elixir CR Mag is intended for All Mountain, trail and XC biking only. It also comes with a carbon fiber lever as well as a light lever body.

Avid Code Disc Brakes

There are two models of Avid Code disc brakes – the Code and Code 5. Both are built to provide precision breaking and are intended to be used in downhill and freeride situations. The Code 5 can also be used for all mountain bikes and comes with a four piston caliper. Avid Code 5 disc brakes are simplified compared to Code brakes and hence are usually cheaper while still providing drip free bleeding and power reserve geometry. The Avid code series are hydraulic disc brakes.

Avid BB5 Disc Brakes

One of the several ball bearing Avid disc brakes is the BB5. There are two versions – the BB5 and BB5 Road.  Avid claim that the BB5 disc brake is the easiest mechanical disc brake to setup. There is also the ability to easily adjust the modulation of the brakes which is a bonus compared to hydraulics. Avid BB5 disc brakes are relatively inexpensive compared to other models due to their simplicity.

Avid BB7 Disc Brakes

The other series of ball bearing Avid disc brakes is the BB7. This also comes in a regular and road version. Avid BB7 disc brakes for sale are a bit more expensive than their BB5 cousin although still a lot cheaper than other options.

In 2009 the Shimano Saint product line underwent a major redesign which brought the components towards the freeride and downhill side of the mountain bike spectrum. For this reason Saint products in general are built to be sturdy and able to stand up to the rigors of high impact biking. If you’re looking for a durable set of brakes then Shimano Saint brakes are definitely an option to consider.

Since 2009 Shimano Saint brakes have decreased in weight as well as increased in braking power. Shimano also claim to have increased the modulation. When looking for Shimano Saint brakes for sale you should first try them out before buying – some people have complained that there isn’t enough progress when holding the brake lever which can make control difficult. If you can find a bike with a Saint hydraulic brake and lever set it’ll help you to decide whether they are the right kind of brakes for you. This will depend on the type of riding you enjoy.

To buy 2010 M810 Saint brakes which are brand new usually costs around $500 for a set. Used Shimano Saint brakes are usually more affordable although it’s important to get an idea of the condition they are in before you buy. Places such as eBay regularly have Saint brakes available to buy as well as a number of other Shimano models. When buying on auction sites it’s important to check that the seller has a good reputation.

Some of the features of the Saint brake after the 2009 upgrade include dual-diameter pistons for the calipers and an improved modulation (although some reviews don’t agree with this). According to Shimano the 2009 edition of the brakes are noticeably more powerful when it comes to stopping. This is a good thing but does mean that the brakes will take a bit of getting used to when you first buy them. The Saint series is known for its durability and hence these brakes are definitely worth considering for anyone who enjoys downhill biking.
