elixir "r" brakes

i feel your pain ,i bought a set of said elixirs from the states on arrival checked to find that the modal that i had been sent didnt have the adjustable banjo as the cr does,checked on the website and they state that units made prior to dec 08 have a fixed line and units made after that date came out with adjustable lines.man i was pissed as how can these manufacturers sell shit saying its 09 stock/design and has on closer inspection were made in july 08 wtf!!,anyway good luck and if you can do it let us know other than that man these are good brakes i cant fault their performance at all,best ever.:):)
