I have found that this procedure results in very mushy brakes on sram code R and code RSC brakes. To get the brakes feeling good, after air is bubbled out, close up the lever bleed port with the screw, then with the caliper still open apply pressure on the caliper syringe and hold it. While holding the pressure, close the caliper bleed port, then release pressure from the syringe. Now the lever will not be mushy.

Just to add, I also put the new pads in and add 1.7mm shim to simulate the rotor width and do the pressure bleed on that. I also reset lever throw after I have pressure bleed it to the lever position I’m comfortable width. This method makes the brakes feel like XTR with better modulation .

I've bled SRAM brakes many times and the little tidbit at 9:45 was something so obvious but never thought of doing.

Should mention that DOT 4 and 5 aren’t compatible at the beginning. DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 are compatible, and can be used interchangeably. Good video otherwise, very helpful, thank you!

Dot 5 is totally not compatible with dot 4 and/or dot 5.1. I would think you would like to pin this information to the top of the comments.

No bleed block? How do you stop the pistons from moving when your moving fluid through the system
@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic
@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic 2 жыл бұрын
slight pressure on the syringes and plenty of feel

what about the bite point adjuster? I think its a good idea to open it up before starting the bleeding at all. Same as using a bleed block to make sure that the pistons doesn`t move out during the bleeding process.

Hi Anton, thanks for watching, fair point re the adjuster, Sometimes its better to have the pistons slightly out, you can force then mack in whilst holding the lever closed, this sends any air back in the syringe.

I have found a better way to bleed these brakes,bleed as normal,then put the brake caliper with the brake pads in over the disc rotor or if not find a spare disc rotor and hold it in place,put the brake bleed tool in the the caliper,open bleed port on caliper , squeeze the syringe and lightly pull the brake lever until you feel some resitance ,this is the bit that makes these brakes work,stop pulling the brake lever push hard on the syringe and watch the brake pads close on to the disc,make sure the brake pads looks evenly pushed out, DO NOT stop squeezing the syringe and lock off the bleed port,repeat if necessary or when they lose there bite,

Hi, thank you for your comment, this is a good tip but its difficult to do on our customers bikes unless we are installing new pads, if not then when they coime to fit a new pair or another bike shop does the pads wont fit in without releasing a little bit of fluid, its not good practise in a bike workshop. but I can understand why you have done it.

Hi Barry, I wouldn't recommend anything but syringes, Every brake that I have ever worked on uses a syringe, either one and a funnel if it's shimano everything else is bled by syringe.

A up Dave ..don’t want to tell you how to suck eggs …but regarding geting the pistons back ….with the pads out,use feeler gauges…pop some in so there nice and snug then get another feeler and lightly tap in down the middle ..repeat till the pistons are back in the calliper …dead easy …with no damage

Hi, Thanks for your comments, Thats one of the good things about sharing, some find it easier in different ways, it's what ever works best for you. the main thing is not to damage the pistons, and the are pushed back squarely. Thanks for your comments.

Really bad advice here, I recommend not using this guys method, no bleed block or degassing of the syringes, seiously bad way to bleed already shitty brakes. Best way to bleed Code R's is to bin them along with the pads and get better brakes
