Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of brake fluid is compatible with this kit?

This kit is designed for use with SRAM's recommended DOT 5.1 brake fluid. Always refer to your specific SRAM brake model's documentation for the exact fluid type.

Is this kit compatible with Shimano brakes?

No, this kit is specifically designed for SRAM hydraulic brakes with the Bleeding Edge bleed port. Shimano brakes use a different bleed port system and fluid type (mineral oil).

Can I use this kit for older SRAM brakes with an M5 bleed port?

No, this kit is for the newer Bleeding Edge port. Older SRAM brakes with an M5 bleed port will require a different type of bleed kit or adapter.

How often should I bleed my SRAM brakes?

Brake bleeding frequency depends on usage and conditions. A general recommendation is every 6-12 months, or sooner if you notice a spongy lever feel, reduced braking performance, or after replacing brake components.

Do I need any other tools besides what's in this kit?

You will need SRAM-specific DOT 5.1 brake fluid, a container for old fluid, and a rag. The kit includes the necessary syringes, assemblies, and bleed blocks.

What is the purpose of the bleed blocks?

The bleed blocks are inserted into the caliper to simulate the position of the brake pads. They help maintain the correct spacing and ensure proper fluid flow during the bleeding process.

Are spare parts available for this kit?

The kit includes spare O-rings. For other components, please refer to the manufacturer's website or your point of purchase for availability.

Troubleshooting

Bleeding Edge assembly does not connect securely.

Ensure the port on the brake caliper is clean and free of debris. Verify you are using the correct Bleeding Edge assembly for your specific SRAM brake model. Check the O-ring on the assembly for damage and replace if necessary.

Brake lever remains spongy after bleeding.

Ensure all connections were leak-free during the process. Re-bleed the system, paying close attention to removing all air bubbles. Check the brake hose and caliper for any signs of damage or leaks. Ensure you used the correct SRAM-specific bleed procedure.

Difficulty pushing or pulling fluid with syringes.

Ensure the syringes are clean and free of internal debris. Check that the assemblies are properly seated and not crimped. For new syringes, breaking the seal on the plunger might require a bit more force initially.

Fluid leaks from the connection point.

Tighten the assembly slightly. Inspect the O-ring on the assembly for wear or damage and replace it if necessary. Ensure the caliper's bleed port threads are not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tailored specifically for SRAM's Bleeding Edge system for optimal fit.
  • High-quality syringes ensure precise fluid control and minimal air introduction.
  • Leak-free connections prevent mess and ensure an efficient bleed.
  • Includes specific bleed blocks for compatibility with a range of SRAM brake models.
  • A comprehensive kit that provides everything needed for a full brake bleed.

Cons

  • Brake fluid is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Not compatible with older SRAM brake systems that use an M5 bleed port.
  • Requires some technical knowledge of bicycle brake systems for effective use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is designed exclusively for SRAM hydraulic brakes that feature the Bleeding Edge bleed port. It is compatible with SRAM systems from 2017 onwards. It is not compatible with older SRAM brake systems that utilize an M5 bleed port.

Setup:

  1. Ensure your brake system is clean, especially around the bleed port.
  2. Attach the appropriate Bleeding Edge assembly to one of the syringes, ensuring a secure connection.
  3. Attach the M5 assembly to the other syringe (if applicable for other connections, though this kit focuses on Bleeding Edge).
  4. Select the correct bleed block for your specific SRAM brake model (latest or older 2/4 piston).
  5. Insert the bleed block into the caliper.
  6. Follow SRAM's specific bleeding procedure, using the syringes to introduce and remove fluid as directed.

Care:

  • After use, thoroughly clean all syringes, assemblies, and tools with isopropyl alcohol or a degreaser.
  • Store components in the original packaging or a designated tool case to prevent contamination and damage.
  • Replace O-rings if they show signs of wear or leakage.
  • Keep the bleed blocks clean and free from debris.
  • Store in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
