Both are fixed by 'bleeding' air from the system and replacing the trapped air bubbles with brake fluid. Neither are helpful to effective braking. Under hard braking an air bubble can expand and cause the lever to pump out. If air is in the system it can cause the brake to have a mushy feel at the lever as the air compresses instead of directly transferring the braking pressure.Īir in brake hoses can also cause issues with inconsistent system pressure when hot. Unlike fluid, air is a gas and therefore is compressible.

Hold the caliper syringe tip down and push fresh fluid into the system. Remove the caliper bleed screw and install the 3/4 full caliper syringe into the bleed port. Position bike and caliper to minimize downward or. Ensure that o-ring is removed along with bleed screw fully thread syringe into bleed port Install the syringe in the holder. Squeeze the brake lever and the displaced fluid is forced through the hose, into the calliper, forcing the pistons (and brake pads) towards each other and applying pressure to the disc rotor. 1 This bleeding procedure will work on SRAM drop bar and flat bar brakes that feature Bleeding Edge. Hydraulic brakes work on the basis that brake fluid is not compressible.
SRAM BLEEDING EDGE PROCEDURE HOW TO
Here's how to do it on a SRAM hydraulic road disc brake.
Removing it, or 'bleeding' it out of the system is vital. As with any hydraulic system, air is the enemy causing inconsistent performance. They're a little more involved to set up and service than cable brakes, but once you know what you're doing it's really very straightforward. Hydraulic disc brakes offer improved braking performance with greater consistency than traditional calliper rim brakes.
