Common issues related to Avid Elixir 5 brakes include air bubbles in the system leading to spongy brakes and difficulty in bleeding the brakes. To resolve these issues, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's bleeding instructions carefully, ensure proper alignment of the calipers and rotors, and use high-quality brake fluid.

Bleed the rear brakes and add new brake fluid. Typically the brakes feeling as if they give too much or "squishy" is from small air bubbles in the brake line...so by bleeding and adding new fluid you let out the small bubbles which cause the squishiness. When you changed the brakes many people tend to hit the line as well as not clamp them properly and therefore render the brakes "squishy". Hope this helps. J
