- This walks you through the bleeding technique I use for Sram Brakes: Guide, Level, Code, any of their road hydraulic brakes...
Bleeding SRAM brakes does take some experience with bleeding. If you do this once a year it might be worth investing in a way to get high-frequency, repetitive experience.

Pretty good video, well explained step by step. Thanks.
I have code rscs, at the end of the bleed..once i take out the syringe from the lever, i go back to the caliper and add a bit more oil in order to replace what was lost at the lever when dismounting the syringe.
Thanks for the feedback. Hope it's a helpful video! I will do this if i lost a lot fluid as well. If I pump the lever once, and don't see some fluid at the bleed port, this is when I need to top it off but I try to avoid getting in that scenario by making sure the syringe isn't in vacuum state when I detach it. It's not always full proof but most of the time it works for me.
@@insightbikethanks!. I always wait a couple minutes until the system stabilizes to then detach the syringe, but cant stop it from losing a lot of oil through the bleed port. I believe im not doing this the right way. Hows that you make sure the syringe is not in vacuum mode?
@@hillsidewoods you may have pressure locked in the syringe. Generally that fluid you’re losing when you detach the bleeder is coming out of the syringe. The consumer version of SRAMs bleed kit has a rubber gasket on the plunger and this can act as a bladder. Very often using that kit you’ll have syringe spill, but that’s not coming from the master cylinder. The Pro version of the kit doesn’t use the gasket. If you bleed a lot of sram brakes the pro kit is a worthwhile upgrade.
@@hillsidewoods also, to be sure the syringe isn’t in vacuum, press the plunger and push plugs into the lever until the pressure hits a wall. The syringe will regulate the fluid level to a degree. But there will probably be some back pressure and some will spill anyway when you disconnect.
@@insightbike thanks vm for the tips! Very helpful!
