and so just to share a very satisfying result of my Avid Elixir 5 brakeset. From 518g to 471g

* final weight being 464g after cutting more cables to suit the frame :D

Made possible by the means of oldschool dark arts of Drillium and a couple of TI & Nylon Bolts...and some chop-chop. I guess the set now in the same weight bracket of X0 grade brakes

Cheers.
