My experience with Code 5's and Codes:
Follow the avid bleed procedure to the letter. Particularly take your time getting all the air out of the fluid ( takes a while but worth the effort ).
I bleed the brakes on the bike in place. When you have finished your contact point will be very...
I have got that exact same Sunday - an 08 Elite.
A wee tip on the Totems - pull the compression damper out and remove the "floodgate" valve, it opens up the low speed compression circuit and helps with small bump compliance.
Hope it works out for you :thumb:
Why not. They have great geo and most people would not be able to out ride one. I own one and to be honest an upgrade to the new Pivot seems like a nice idea but lots of $$$$ for not much gain. It's so easy to get caught in the "must have the latest and greatest " trap.

Cool...
I was under the understanding that the Codes started giving problems once they went to Magnesium?
Anyway, my Gen 1 Codes and '08 Code 5's work just fine and have given me no problems. I have kept some Ultimate levers ( well complete sets actually ) just in case, so far so good :)
This guy is totally on to it. Personnally I have a FR bike that is my do it all bike. I brought it when I didn't know heaps about big travel MTB's. I was really lucky that the shop pointed me in the right direction. It is an '08 IH 7pt with upgrades and I love it :) . The main mods are a lighter...
