- When you buy some SRAM brakes they will come pre filled and bled with DOT fluid but the hose is not attached to the lever, this video is just showing you how set up the hose into the lever.

Way to get your greasy gloves on the rotor! You is pro!
IPA and a cloth.
Thanks!! Got new brakes that was not connected and imagined i had to either get tools and bleed kit or try to find a workshop that could do it. But that seems really easy now that you have showed it!
This had completely stumped me with a set of new rival brakes that came with the little metal end on.. I was about to cut it off! Couldn’t work out where the needle insert was or what the red tool did 😂 awesome video!
Thanks. Glad you got it sorted.
your a legend just bought myself some rsc and had no idea what i was doing 🤣 new to brakes but done everything wlse
Cheers. Glad to have been for help. I pray you never need to bleed them!
Excellent video. Very trick system. I was unfamiliar with it but more familiar with shimano's system. Now i have Codes and now i know.
Thanks for this tutorial. I have a new G2R and I thought I had a broken, stuck lever :-)
You're welcome. Nice brakes the G2R.
Me too. I was a bit stressed when my lever felt stuck. Glad I didn't force it
Thank you so much! I have Sram brakes. I've been looking for this video all over the Internet! 🙏🙏💜💜👍👍
You're welcome, glad it was useful.
Likewise I’ve been searching everywhere for a video like this. Thank you.
Great video, sound could be better though
I agree. A lot of the issue is lack of mic and then the wooden work bench creates a lot of reverb.
Just what I needed!
Glad to hear it.
very helpful thanks 👍
Thanks I was also looking for this Video
No problem!
Thanks, very helpful. Just bought DB8. Is it the same procedure with mineral oil beakes?
Hi, thanks and yes it should be the same procedure. The only difference should be the mineral oil brakes have mineral oil specific seals.
I have followed this tutorial to install new G2 brakes but it feels like the lever is stuck and the pistons won’t move. Is there any easy fix? I have tried to make sure the olive aligns with the valve inside the lever housing.
I'm setting up Force hydro brakes on a new frame and after doing this, the brakes are leaking fluid from the compression nut. I'm guessing this is due to the nut not being compressed enough. Any helpful thoughts would be appreciated!
Sram do state that those compression fittings should be done up to 8nm but you need something called a crows foot on your torque wrench to do that accurately.
I would nip it up with a normal spanner if you have no way to torque. Hopefully the compression olive is still able to deform internally with the additional torque you will do it up to. I would do it up a little bit at a time and check for leaks, the other issue is fluid out tends to mean is going in so probably going to need to bled after :(
that black pad in between the brake pads is hard to remove. any tips?
Oh you mean the plastic thing they put in there from the factory? You should be able to pull it out, wiggle it or grab it with pliers.
Can you disconnect the hose from the lever and then reconnect without a brake bleed?
Sometimes you can get away with it but not all ways. Often there will be air trapped but it can be "burped" out by taking the screws out of the top cap then flicking the lever so the bubbles end up exiting via the levers reservoir.
How would I remove the stealth a majig if it dosnt have a torx head? Do I use the little silver cap?
I want to shorten the hose but noticed there isn’t a torx screw to remove it?
That is strange as the proper sram inserts do have a torx head, could be that someone fitted something different.
You can pull them out, it will damage the hose but if you're shorting the hose that won't matter. Also the ring (olive) that goes around the hose deforms when you use it to fill the space, so those are one time use only so it would be best to replace them.
The way I do it, I cut the end of the hose off so the insert is still attached. I clamp very, very lightly the insert in a vise and then blast the hose with a blow torch. The hose melts and I pull the hose away from the insert with some pliers. You should be left with an insert (probably still hot) clamped in a vise ready to use again.
Stealthamajig ones are red and normal ones are silver.
@@Chambers36TheEnter it’s a brand new brake and everything is the same as in your video (new olive etc) the only thing is there isn’t a torx head.. could it be down to the fact this line uses mineral oil? It’s a sram DB8 brake
@@Chambers36TheEnterhow did you shorten it? I have same brakes and same problem
I think the preinstalled fitting from SRAM doesn't have torx head. They say in the instructions to never reuse an installed barb
Is there away you can shorten the hose and still use the fittings.
Only if the hose with the fittings is brand new. Once the hose has been slotted into the lever and tightened then an olive is crushed into shape which is not reuse able.
The olive with the stealthamajig is the red cylindrical metal bit that screws onto the insert, you can badly see it around 01:57.
The insert which is at 01:27 which is the silver part already installed inside the hose is reuseable. You can unscrew it from the hose, cut the hose and then screw it back into the shortened hose.
No. The compression fitting installed in new hoses doesn't have the splines for a torx bit....no way to remove it. Have to buy a stealthamajig ....I just bought a new SRAM groupset. Hoses are way too long. But there was absolutely no mention of needing this. So I'm still waiting to install... waiting for parts.
