Howdy all, My boys 09 giant glory has avid elixir r brakes on it at the moment, the calipers are leaking and I think the whole system needs a rebuild.
Looking at rebuild kits it was cheaper to buy shimano mt200 brakes.
So I’m asking, having purchased the shimanos, should they mount in place of the avids, and do they need bleeding out of the box.
I will be removing the wheels and cleaning up the discs with brake cleaner and isopropyl alcohol. I have also been told to go over the discs with some fine wet and dry sandpaper to give them a good key for the new pads.
Any other suggestions?
