Help needed to resolve a dilemma I have. I need to replace my brakes on my anthem, I can go and buy a set of xt or SLX from crc for about 240 both of which are very good and everybody seams to recommend them.
HOWEVER...
A mate will sell me his 3 year old Elixer R brakes and 3 year fox forks for $400 and pick over his old bike for spares.
I currently have a set of fox forks on my bike which are 7 years old and to me they work ok not sure if the new forks would be any better though.
Thoughts please re the following
Are elixer r as rubbish as the reviews say? I am currently using a 8 year old Hayes 9 front and juicy 4 on the back both of which have been maintenance free.
What would you do if you had the same dilemma?
Look forward to your replies.
