SRAM PRO Bleed KIT with Fluid

i'm a 50 year avid cyclist. i prefer to do all bike maintenance. upgraded to sram force, hydraulic brakes and electronic shifters, 2 years ago. reviewed the sram videos on checking/replacing brake pads and rotors and bleeding brakes. i ordered this system after reviewing several brake bleed kits. it had everything and the brake bleed process was simple with this system. definitely recommend. brakes much more responsive after bleeding.

If you ride hydraulic disc brakes and like to maintain your own ride.....this kit is cannot be without in your arsenal of tools. The only thing I wished it had were the syringe holders to keep them from flopping over.Otherwise, this system you get is spot on for bleeding your SRAM system brakes. Haven't done a brak ebleed and it seems a bit daunting????? Watch YT videos of the process and you will be fine if you take your time.

If you’re thinking between this and a cheaper unit, this is the way to go. It is amazing quality and works really well.

I bought this item and it is a well made kit for SRAM brakes. Genuine SRAM item.

So I received the bleed kit today and it came as advertised. Came with all the fitting I could need for mine and my daughters bikes along with brake fluid. I have a cheap kit that I purchased here on Amazon, it wasn't the best and actually made the brakes feel worse. People say that this kit is expensive, but local shops charge upwards of $120.00 now for this kit. I like that it came with olives and barbs so that I can shorten the rear brake line, and if you purchase these alone you'll pay $40.00 for a set of 4. Looking forward to getting a good bleed.

Kit itself is pretty solid, works as it should.However, if you're setting new brakes up and not just bleeding your current set:I looked up a few youtube vids to help me get started. The videos (including the one made by Sram) instruct you to use DOT compatible grease to install/seal the barb into the brake hose at the lever.This kit does NOT include that grease and you will need it if you're installing a barb and olive (stealthamajig).The grease is only offered in a $25, 1oz tub. I don't see why Sram can't include a small tube of DOT grease with this kit.I'm paying $70 for this "pro" bleed kit, supposed to come with everything I'll need and more. So on top of the cost of the bleed kit and brakes themselves, I have to spend an additional $25 on a tub of grease, when I only really need a tiny amount.So I set the brake up without the grease on the barb and it worked ok. But when I got on a trail, I noticed low pressure and fluid leaking from the lever, getting all over the bike and doing wonders for the paint finish.I realize this is my fault for incorrectly setting the brakes up, but it's a bit misleading to say this kit has everything you'll need for multiple brake jobs. It would be nice if they included some DOT grease for the 4 barbs/olives they include.ALSO, the red retaining clips for the syringes are a massive pain to use and should be redesigned. You have to use two hands and a ton of strength to get the clip closed. And then once the clip is closed, it pinched the tube so tightly that it actually punctured the tube and fluid started leaking out. Working with these clips was the biggest challenge about the whole bleeding process.And lastly, I don't know how they'd fix this but:When I finished bleeding and detached the hose from the brake lever, fluid spilled out. This is to be expected as the system is pressurized after filling it. However, now the brakes don't have enough fluid and the lever doesn't have enough pressure. I had to go back, pump more fluid in, and quickly try to seal it before too much fluid got out; and the brakes still didn't have enough pressure.Maybe designing a Bleeding Edge adapter for the lever, like the one on the caliper, would help the system to stay pressurized after filling it?Hopefully Sram sees this and makes a couple tweaks.Thank you

Great product. All that I needed to do a successful SRAM hydro brake bleed. The key was to watch the GCN YouTube video.

This was my first time bleeding my brakes. It was a really simple task and this kit came with everything that I needed.
