Hi there,
I am building my second FR/DH bike, and I am undecided between zee and code r brakes.
I have had zee; they are powerful and easy to maintain. No experience with the avid other than the nice touch of the levers of some older elixir (on a bike of a friend). However, the code r 2014 offer the pad contact adjustment, which shimano offers with the Saints, but not with the zee . I want to stay in the price range of zee/code r. There is also a claim that the pivot point of the avids is closer to the bars than in any other brand (which of course would be an asset). Is it true in comparison with the zee?
I am searching for opinions in terms of power, power modulation, reliability, maintenance, Ergonomics, durability ...

thanks

Just my 2cents:
-You seem to be lucky with the zee.
-pca enables you to make the lever worse. Big feature.
-The closer lever-pivot-to-the-bar is a fact, on the other hand, theres servowave with Shimano. I feel, thats a matter of taste. If you like the touch of the zee, no reason to change a winning team. If you feel ready for another experience, the levers of Elixirs and Codes are pretty much the same, so trying an elixir gives you a good idea, whats the close pivot is worth.
 
Go for the Zee, Most Reliable an powerful brake in this price Range
