I have juicy 3's on my GT but I also own a boardman pro hybrid which I'm not getting along with so will soon be up for sale. My question is should I take the elixirs from the b'man buy longer cables, bigger rotors etc ( as they use g3 not g2) put the juicy on b'man and sell like that? Will I notice difference etc other than diff colour parts reach adjust etc. I'm a big guy n like big rotors etc.
Would this devalue the b'man for resale?
Thoughts on a postcard please
For the muddy - Boardman comp frame ( to match the roadie) running saint/ fox
For the blacktop - Boardman Pro Carbon

    Try it and see? You should have the adaptors necessary to swap them over for free. G2/G3 doesn't really matter, it's just a slightly different design.

    You've got both brakes though, so if you prefer the Elixirs then use them.

  • definitely take the elixirs over the juicys, so do the swap for sure. however as mentioned above, swap them over and try, if you dont want to change the rotors, just unbolt the caliper from the mount and leave the mounts on the bikes. the calipers will bolt into either so its not too big of a job :)
