I am curious if you say they are not the stiffest what would be a stiffer alternative, while not being heavier? I am seriously considering a Lynskey 29er as all the reviews sound good. I like the idea of their being down with a BB30 bottom bracket custom option to solve some of the BB flex you referenced. Thanks Ted,

If you do it with the initial install/trim the lines, you can leave them alone for a long time. I have not touched my Juicy carbons in close to 3 years except to change the pads. Do the initial setup right and hydros are gravey from there on out. WIWR, bleeding takes a whopping 15 minutes and is dirt simple.

I bought them so I could do LESS maintenance than with my BB7's. I probably should have just stayed with the BB7's because I can understand and adjust them myself, not the case with hydros.

My other Niner has Juicy Carbon with 7"s front and back and I gotta say that the Elixirs are the bee's knees. So much power with little to no fade. Easy set up, awesome lever feel and plenty of power to bring all 275lbs of me to a grinding halt. I'd recommend them to anybody shopping for brakes.

I get more control with less fatigue from riding after long rides.and I weigh 200 lbs. I like tires with big volume currently running mtn kings 2.4. i run a185 on my rigid fork also.
