The Bleeding Edge is a proprietary, compact bleed port design introduced by SRAM on their newer hydraulic disc brakes, offering a more streamlined and secure connection point for bleeding.

Ensure the fittings are securely tightened into the bleed ports. Check the O-rings on the fittings for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
