Thank you Vicky!

Vicki I been riding a long time and I just wanna say thank u!! Never thought about the great idea!!!!

Great easy to follow video better than srams guides ;). A question, if I was installing a new caliper no need to push pistons back or lube them right?. Also Would I just bleed them then put the pads in and align the rotar? Would that order be correct? Sorry 2 Qs ;) Thanks

Thanks for the video. It's refreshing to have a normal video of this operation. Of my three bikes only one is Hydraulic and I hate it. I wonder if it really necessary hydraulic brakes? I mean I no pro obviously and I will never ride a faster speed so In my case hydraulic brakes are absolute nonsense. And I clarify that I LOVE doing maintenance to my bikes.

Thank you so much! I bled both my wife and my brakes successfully. The bike shops near me said I'd have to wait 3 weeks for service. Instead, we'll be riding our bikes! My cost was $50 including the purchase of a bleed kit instead of paying the bike shop $160.

noob here. i'm assuming left over oil in syringe not reusable?

horrible camera work. sorry

Great informative video, thanks.

You are as cute as a button

The brakes on my Giant TCX start binding when the weather gets warmer especially if the bike is left in the sun. I took it to a bike shop last year and they bled the brakes which fixed it until this year when it's happening again. The funny thing is that they don't go "spongey" at all. Bought a bleed kit similar to the one used in this video so this was a great help. Thanks. (Useful comment below as well from cycling2005).

This was a great bleed video. Still holds up today, thanks!

0:24 - "If you understand the process, it makes more sense". Duh! You really put the bleeding into "the bleeding obvious".

Interestingly, she pushes the oil from the caliper syringe. According to the SRAM technical video, you should push the oil from the lever syringe, as doing it the other way can damage the caliper.

sram disc are absolutly disaster

Very good explanation! Thank you for that. I will try to do it myself soon.

Hi. What is the purpose of this lock? Is it used only when removing the wheel or can you have the derailleur locked or unlocked for other purposes? Thanks? :)

Thanks for your explanation

doesn't it feel bumpy when you ride it?

Wow ! Its like I have just won a large amount of money on the Lottery finding your video. As some aged 73 who totally agrees with n1+ bikes I have decided to build a Gravel Bike. As a consequence I have just brought SRAM RIVAL brakes and I am currently awaiting delivery of the frame. Even though I have worked on hydraulics on cars and motorbikes I was still worried about doing it on a bicycle. But now Vicky having watched your brilliant video I am not so worried about doing it. If I do have problems I will get one of our grandsons to look at your video and then do it. Hope your still doing it and you now have another Sub.

The SRAM guidance says to only push fluid from the lever NOT from the caliper upwads. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXusZoZ7fshoY9Esi=JH-WvZAsHKlTl7Av&t=270

Very useful video :) just one question...i 've got the same brakes and i need to swap brake hoses, any idea how to to this? I can not ride with front brake on the right site :/ cheers.

Nice

Thanks

Thank you !! I can do it myself now 😊😊👍👍

thanks for great video - if it's a fresh install (no fluid in the new/hose) is it same procedure?

Good tutorial, well explained. Shame the camera is often focusing on the wrong subject!

Totaly useless video. When does she tell what kit is required?

Oh my gawd!!! That's what that is. Thanks!!

Thank you very much. Your video was extermely helpful. It was the first time I did this on my 1 year old Ventum NS1with SRAM Force AXS group set. Got it right the first time.

thanks for sharing 👍

This was an immensely helpful video. I got a nice bleed on my first try. Thank you!

Best tutorial video by far on the SRAM road brake bleed system. I hadn't done it for a while and this video is the best I've seen.

I have a hard time bleeding the rear brakes - I cant get proper brake power to the caliper and the lever feels very light and can almost be pushed to the bars. Not so much for the front brakes, I get it done very easy and quickly and it feels powerfull too. Do you have any suggestions how to make it work? thanks

Thank you. Very interesting and useful video. Will be to bleed a system in my bike Kona.

Amazing tutorial ! Tried others and didn't work out .Yours was concise and clear. Thank you very much !

Brilliantly helpful video. Thank you!

Great tutorial. Thanks

pretty useless compared to shimano clutch.

Great video and explanation !!! Good job !!! Thank you !!!

I struggled with other guides but found yours to be very concise and covered all of the important points, especially how to purge/pressurise correctly and clamp off. Thank you for putting this excel at guide together.

Rival here: the worst part is screwing on/off the syringes to caliper and same with that Itty bitty screw other Rival bleed port. It's massively annoying to say the least. It's so much more convenient with my Force axs group and this enhanced bleeding port that actually snaps into place.

amazing tutorial, best out there for bleeding brakes, thanks for the help!

I got one fitted in my 2018 36 along with a new grip 2 dampener and a 170mm air piston. Fork still feels a bit lacking in small bump sensitivity but that could be dampener settings.

Thankyou

So two days before an ultra race having problems, I so needed to find your video. It has after several attempts sorted my rear brake. Excellent instruction delivered in a great step by step guide. I cannot thank you enough. For anyone new to this process be patient and keep repeating.

Probably the best tutorial I’ve ever watched 👍 Thank you!

The first logical, clear explanation of how and why we do it. Thanks a lot.

Thanks - sure helped 👍👍

Dear, Vicky Balfour; I wish to send you a very big THANK, for your amazing instruction, how to safely bleed my SRAM Hydraulic Brakes! You are surely a great teacher! My hat goes off (or my helmet) for you! Wishing you many safe rides with your fine bike! God bless you and your whole family as well! Best regards from Sweden! 🙂💯👍👍👍

This different for the caliper with Bleeding Edge..
