FAQs

Can I use this kit for SRAM Level or Code brakes?

No, this kit is specifically designed for Maven and DB8 systems using mineral oil. Level and Code brakes use DOT fluid and require a different kit.

Is the mineral oil included enough for a full brake system flush?

Yes, the provided Maxima Mineral Oil is sufficient for a complete service of both the front and rear brake systems.

How often should I bleed my brakes?

It is recommended to bleed your brakes at least once a year, or whenever you notice a soft lever feel or inconsistent braking performance.

What is the purpose of the bleed block?

The bleed block keeps the brake pistons set to the correct distance, preventing them from extending too far while the system is open.

Can I reuse the syringes?

Yes, they are designed for multiple uses. Ensure you clean them thoroughly with alcohol or mineral oil after every bleed session.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles continue to appear in the syringe

Ensure all fittings are tightened properly and check the syringe seal for cracks.

Fluid leaking at the bleed port

Verify that the correct fitting is being used and that the O-ring on the fitting is intact.

Brake lever remains soft after bleeding

Repeat the bleed process to ensure all air is purged from the caliper, as air can remain trapped in the piston cavity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This kit is exclusively compatible with SRAM Maven and DB8 disc brake systems that utilize mineral oil. Do not attempt to use this kit with SRAM road or older MTB brakes that require DOT fluid, as this will destroy the internal seals of your brake system. To care for your kit, always flush the syringes with clean mineral oil or isopropyl alcohol after use and store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the rubber seals from drying out or degrading.
