FOR SALE: Avid Elixir 5 brakes

I've a pair of Elixir 5's for sale in great condition - less than a year old.
These brakes have never needed a bleed - they've felt solid since the day I bought them and are in perfect working order.
I'll also include a set of 180mm discs in perfect condition and a brand new set of pads for them.


These brakes new are approx €130 each, but you can have the pair of them and the extras for €130.

Avid Elixir 5 Disc Brake Features :


MatchMaker Compatible - Save weight and clutter on the bar with MatchMaker. This system holds AVID® levers, a number of SRAM triggers and the RockShox PushLoc control—all with one tidy, light clamp.
Tri-Align™ Caliper Positioning System™ - Another original Avid technology making your life better—there’s never been an easier brake to install and adjust. With Avid’s Tri-Align™Caliper Positioning System™, aligning the caliper to the rotor literally takes seconds. Just loosen the CPS™ bolts a little, and then squeeze the brake lever while re-tightening the bolts. Perfect caliper alignment—just like that.
Top-loading Pads - When the only thing between you and the trail is bike maintenance, every second matters. With our top-loading pads, new disc-brake pads can be installed without taking off the wheel, working under the caliper or doing any upside-down pad juggling, so you’ll be ready to ride much quicker.
TaperBore Technology™ - The term “TaperBore” refers to a unique patent-pending closure system in our Elixir and Code levers. It saves weight, looks super-sleek, improves lever feedback and most importantly–gives you more power and control.
Reach Adjust - When one finger has the power to control your ride, adjusting the levers to perfectly match your unique hands is seriously important—that’s why we put Reach Adjust on all of our levers.
Deep Stroke Modulation™ - There’s a fine line between braking hard and braking so hard that you lose traction. Deep Stroke Modulation allows riders to perfectly navigate that line and control even the most powerful brakes with finesse
Now Oz.....those are superb brakes, nice lever and modulation, bargain too.
