Split the caliper and remove the pistons and orings...so much more dirt in there. DO NOT DO NOT! miss alignment of the banjo port holes! 14 hrs once!😅😅😂

This was good an thorough

Push the fluid up.

Just... Wow.

Have you made a shotened version for bleeding SRAM Hydro R! They're a pain in the arse to bleed!

My piston is stuck it just won't move in only out

your bleeding system in not tight, obviously it leaks fluid from the lever side..

the clutch shouldnt be always on,turn it off when u store ur bike after a ride and turn it on again when going for a ride

I’ve used electrical tape even. Hockey tape works too.

Awesome vid!! Keep it up!!!

This presentation was inspiring, an education, and saved me countless future trips to the bike shop! There were a couple missing elements that i had to learn on my own, but that is the exact thing i needed to force me to use my own noodle.

Saved me, thanks for the great vid

Note: Do not use DOT fluid on a Mineral oil system (use Mineral oil on Q-tip, DOT fluid will attack Nitrile rubber o-rings of the pistons used on all Mineral oil systems) DOT fluid systems use EPDM rubber o-rings.

This video is GREAT! I've never tried aligning based on sight only (I've always used the traditional method of having pads in place and pumping levers). Followed this and discovered my caliper was 3 mm off the middle which probably contributed to noise and vibrations. Thanks for making this video!

Another great vid! ✌️

Screwdriver technique pushing the pads to align the pistons worked a treat, cheers mate!

Dude, super helpful video. Doing it step by step like you showed finally fixed it, butter smooth on the trail today!

One thing I'd do differently: I am much more careful and gentle when pushing the pistons back in. I usually use a worn out pad to push against the piston, and I would never directly force the pistons with any sort of pliers. They can go off-center and really get damaged.

Very useful 🫶🏽

"Break"... although to be fair, his nose did stop

My actuator won’t go in far enough to thread when I am trying to put it back together. What am I missing here?

Damn 👀

It's 2024 and this still looks like it was taken on a flip phone

“Red bull gives you wings “

Hopefully they will be okay 😮

Baaah😂

You didn't need that shoulder, you got another one.

Broken ribs?

😮 Definition of pain 😢

No business going that big whatsoever

She's a beast, doctors had to stop her riding the comp 🤙 so metal

Excellent video. Thank you

So many people dont vacuum the air out of the fluid before using it. It only takes a few minutes and guarantee's you aren't putting any air into your system 👍👍

Holly shit! :-///

OMG! That looks like it hurt. Is he ok?

hopefully he’s okay!!

So, the part that really improves the brakes is centering them; all the rest is just to make it easier. Because "lubricating" the pistons seems not so important in the long term, as they are self-lubricated, the part of the piston outside the chamber eventually will dry after the first wash. Actually my front brakes are centered and though they do brake better than non-centerd rear, still, locking the front wheel is almost impossible on mine Guide R comparing to Shimano XT 2-piston where it is super easy. Maybe its good for safety, but not for situation when you need to "stop now" even with possibly losing balance.

Hi, What is the reason of the pistons going out when I want to push them in. I puch one piston back, and the opposite is moving out. As the result there is not enough room to put the disc in.

Thank You

The pads meeting the rotor unevenly was driving me mad thank you so much for that tip

Awesome job. Definitely going to do this.

I can't believe after all these years of disc brakes, sram brakes still suck. adjustment is trash. shitty ass engineers

Good vid , thanks !

I have spent literally hundreds of dollars on brake pads thinking I just need to find the right compound in order to get the maximum performance from my Code Rs. What a waste of money. The improvement gained by lubing the pistons and aligning caliper and pads to the rotor is incredible! My experience to date was SRAM brakes sucked, and this video changed that. Thank you thank you thank you!

Informative

Thank you for the pro tips on Code R's!

Could you elaborate a bit on the weight of the assembled bike as shown ?

Sram manual states to not lube pistons. This will keep proper grip with the seal and keeps retracting properly.
