Open the lever bleed syringe clamp, hold both syringes vertically, and gently push DOT fluid from the lever down through the brake line and into the bleeding edge tool syringe. Do not ever exceed two complete rotations. Open the bleeding edge syringe clamp and then turn the bleeding edge tool 1 complete rotation to open the system. You will feel and also hear audible click in to place. Push the bleeding edge tool and syringe in to the bleed port. Remove the bleed plug and then use a 4mm hex wrench to loosen the bleed port 1/4 turn and then gently retighten it. Thread in the lever bleed syringe while the syringe clamp remains closed. Using a T10 Torx wrench, remove the bleed screw from the lever and wipe off any access brake fluid that comes up on to the lever. First measure the distance between your lever blade and the grip and then adjust the lever blade until it is 75-80mm from the center of the grip. Prepare Lever and Unwind Contact Point Adjustmentįor brakes with contact point adjustment, unwind the dial in the opposite direction of the arrow until it stops. Close both syringe clamps so you don't lose any fluid.ĥ. Then cover the tip of the syringe with a rag and push all of the air out of the system. For both syringes one at a time, hold the syringe upright and pull all of the fluid from the line in to the syringe. Fill the syringe with the bleeding edge tool with a small amount of DOT fluid (about 1/4 full).

SRAM BLEEDING EDGE FULL
Fill the lever bleed syringe 3/4 full with SRAM 5.1 DOT fluid.
SRAM BLEEDING EDGE INSTALL
If your bleed block calls for it, install the pad retainer bolt through the bleed block and tighten using a 2.5mm hex wrench.įirst thread the bleeding edge tool and lever bleed clamp assembly on to both syringes. Either of your SRAM bleed kits with come with an assortment of bleed blocks that are designed for the Code, Guide, and Level brakes specifically. The bleed block will return the pistons fully in to the bores and will keep the pistons from advancing throughout the bleed process. Push the correct bleed block into the caliper. If you are going to replace your pads, this is the perfect time to do so. That way when you go to put the pads back in the caliper and reinstall the rear wheel and rotor, the pads will be square and centered to the rotor just like before.

** PRO TIP** - If you aren't going to be replacing your brake pads, make sure to identify which pad was pulled from which side of the brake caliper. Pull the brake pads and pad spring up through the top of the caliper and set the pads in a clean space on your work bench. Next use a 2.5mm hex wrench to remove the pad retainer bolt. Remove Brake Padsįirst, remove the e-clip with your needle nose pliers. Make sure that no brake fluid comes in contact with either the brake pads or the rotors or they will become contaminated. Remove the rear wheel from the bike and set it aside. You can follow the same process for both the front and rear brakes. Both the traditional and Pro SRAM bleed kits will come with SRAM's 5.1 DOT fluid, and the appropriate syringes and fittings to get the job done. We also recommend wearing a pair of safety glasses and Nitrile gloves during this service.įor this How To, we will be bleeding the rear brake. If you don't already have your own bleed kit, the SRAM Pro Bleed Kit uses high quality syringes and has all of the supplies you will need.

SRAM BLEEDING EDGE HOW TO
Follow along on how to bleed SRAM brakes to keep them working their best! Bleeding your brakes not only replaces the brake fluid throughout the lever, brake line, and caliper, it also ensures there is no air inside the system. Just like changing the motor oil in your car every 3 to 5 thousand miles, SRAM recommends you bleed your hydraulic brakes at a minimum once a year and more frequently if you are riding on aggressive trails that require heavy braking. Why do I need to bleed my brakes anyway? Over time, your brakes go through hundreds of hot and cold cycles and as that happens, your brake fluid will start to break down. You can find the Bleeding Edge bleed port on all SRAM Code, Guide, and Level brake models since 2017. So what is Bleeding Edge? SRAM's Bleeding Edge technology is their latest brake bleeding innovation designed to make bleeding SRAM brakes easy and mess free. This same step-by-step process can be followed for any SRAM brakes with their Bleeding Edge technology.
