I was looking at the review below and AngryAsian states the Avid Elixir 3 has fixed Banjos, and as a result may create routing headaches for the cable.

What is a Banjo on the brake?

I have Avid Juicy 3's and I can adjust the cable length, can you do that with the Elixir 3's?

I have read that also in a recent review i think in What Mountain Bike, that states the banjo isn't adjustable, I'd liek these as they'll be heaps better then my Juicy 3's with a much better specification, and has most of the gear of the high end gear from Avid.

    Elixirs dont have banjos.
