Have to say that Avid (hydraulic) brakes are great for mix and matching the components. Currently looking for an Elix (R, CR RSL etc..) calliper to stick on the rear of my Hustler. The Code front calliper is awesome with the Juicy Ultimate lever. If I can get the same power out of the Juicy/Elix (lever/calliper) combo that I get out of my ElixCR's but with a bit more 'feel' then I'll be all set for the Mega smile

If it works I maybe tempted to swap the ElixCR levers for Ultimate ones. Although, I've got to try an Elix lever with both Juicy and Code callipers. Should be mentally powerful but zero feel!!!!

See the damage that Class A's can do. Either that or you're on your seventh can of Red Bull.
