Elixer lever body on a Code caliper?

[T-Rex]

I'm building up a bike out of the spare parts bin, and have found a Code approx 2013 model with a stuffed lever body, and a good Elixer complete.

Have any of you 'Burners ever put an Elixer lever on a Code Caliper?

I guess the main issue will be longer lever take up, assuming the Elixer has a smaller bore diameter than the Code lever.

After a google search it would appear a few people have done this without any problems

Thanks, genius.

Ducky, Joel, have you guys actually done this?

Moorey, you love Avids, surely you have tried this combo on your massive fleet at some point?.

Yep, it'll work.
I'd recommend using a fresh olive though, the tolerances of the bores are usually out meaning reused olives allow leaks.

Cheers BigHair, I'll let you know how it goes.

works fine, came stock on some of the specialized demo's last year

It works

Elixer lever body on Code caliper works fine, a little spongy but that might have been as a result of my hasty bleed.

No good. They'll still be avids.

No kidding, did you read the first post? That's why they were in the bin.

I tested this out a few months ago. Got my hands on a cheap set of codes and ran the calipers with elixer 9 levers.

Worked an absolute treat!!! Lever pull feels really nice and controlled with same modulation but a bit more oomph.

Bought a new rig (2nd hand) about a month ago and after running the xo trails for a few weeks I swapped them out for my elixode combo-felt they worked much better and with far less noise than the trails. Just take your time giving them a thorough bleed and you should be fine.
