FAQs

What type of fluid does this kit use?

This kit is designed for SRAM brakes that use mineral oil. It is not compatible with DOT fluid.

Is the brake fluid included in the kit?

No, the mineral oil is not included. It must be purchased separately.

Which SRAM brake models are compatible with this kit?

This kit is compatible with SRAM mineral hydraulic brakes such as the DB-8 and Maven. It is not compatible with DOT-based SRAM hydraulic brakes.

How do I clean the syringes after use?

Rinse the syringes thoroughly with mild soap and water, then dry them completely. Ensure no brake fluid residue remains to prevent contamination.

What is the purpose of the different bleed blocks?

The included bleed blocks (Type 6 for DB-8, Type 7 for Maven) are specifically shaped to fit the caliper pistons and ensure proper spacing and seal engagement during the bleeding process for those respective models.

Can I use this kit for SRAM brakes that use DOT fluid?

No, this kit is specifically for SRAM mineral oil brakes and is not compatible with DOT fluid systems. Using the wrong fluid can damage your brakes.

What should I do if I encounter air in the system after bleeding?

Ensure all connections were sealed properly during the bleed. Re-bleed the system, paying close attention to sealing all fittings and bleed ports to prevent air ingress. Sometimes a slight upward angle of the caliper can help trapped air reach the bleed port.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever still feels spongy after bleeding

Ensure all connections were tight and no air was introduced. Double-check that the correct SRAM mineral oil was used and that the bleed procedure was followed precisely. Inspect brake lines for any signs of leaks.

Fluid is leaking from the bleed port

Make sure the bleed screw is properly seated and tightened. If using the Edge adapter, ensure it is fully engaged with the bleed port. Check the condition of the O-rings on the fittings and replace if worn.

Syringe is difficult to push or pull

Ensure the syringe is clean and free of debris. Check that the brake system is not over-pressurized. For the initial pull, ensure the lever is not engaged. If using mineral oil, verify it is not contaminated with water.

Kit components do not seem to fit the bleed port

Verify that your SRAM brake system uses mineral oil and is one of the compatible models (DB-8, Maven). Confirm you are using the correct adapter (Edge adapter for newer ports) and fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is compatible with all SRAM hydraulic brakes that use mineral oil, including models such as DB-8 and Maven. It is not compatible with SRAM brakes that use DOT fluid. Always verify your brake system's fluid type before use.

Setup:

  1. Ensure your brake levers and calipers are clean.
  2. Identify the correct bleed port on your caliper and lever.
  3. Attach the appropriate syringe with the correct fitting (M4 or Edge adapter) to the caliper bleed port.
  4. Attach the other syringe to the lever bleed port.
  5. Use the included Torx T10 wrench if necessary for any caliper adjustments.
  6. Refer to SRAM's specific service manual for detailed bleeding procedures, including the order of operations and fluid amounts.

Care:

  • After use, thoroughly clean all syringes, fittings, and adapters with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure no brake fluid residue remains.
  • Dry all components completely before storing.
  • Store the kit in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage and contamination.
  • Replace O-rings if they appear worn or damaged.
