This new system makes the bleed process a lot cleaner and simpler. SRAM also says that when the lever is squeezed a cup seal closes the port, pressurising the system which also helps improve braking power and consistency, this is called the timing port closure system. To be honest it sounds like that is the problem. For as long as she's been riding and is equally happy getting stuck into a kit review as she is creating stories, she also coaches mountain biking and when she's not busy with all the above she's serving coffee from a horse trailer!off-road.cc Editorial and general enquiries: info@off-road.ccMountain bike, bikepacking and gravel bikes. She's been writing for publications such as, Enduro Mountain Bike Magazine, Mountain Biking UK, Bike Radar, New Zealand Mountain Biker and was also the online editor for Spoke magazine in New Zealand too. She's been riding bikes for a good few years now after horses got too expensive! If the answer to question one is “my old pads,” you will need to add fluid to the system to make up for the lack of pad material. We reckon it makes bleeding brakes super easy.Designed to be the top end bike in this model lineup the Level Ultimate brake gets a carbon lever blade and a bearing in the lever pivot. All together the lever and caliper weigh 392g.The Guide RS gets all the features of the Guide R with added "SwingLink tech", this is a new cam system which requires less lever throw to push the pads towards the rotor, it is used in replacement of the Direct Link lever. They also get the Timing Port Closure system as described above in the Level TLM section.The brakes come with sintered pads, are used with Centreline rotors and has a Matchmaker X clamp to the lever, that’s the hinged one found on the more expensive Guide and Level brakes. The brake combines the Guide R lever with a caliper from the older Code range of brakes.Technology wise the Guide RE’s get SRAM’s Direct Link lever design, a Piggyback Reservoir in the lever to better manage brake fluid and also allows for ambidextrous lever placement—so you can switch your levers on the handlebar without hassle. SRAM says the new brake is their lightest 4-piston brake outfitted with every feature and material you’ve come to expect from something called Ultimate. Question two is: are you sure you got all the air out? It has a mess free valve closure. You'll get a tooled reach adjust positioned under the lever blade and adjustable via an Allen key.It gets the same tech as the higher level brakes such as the Direct Link’ lever design, Expandable bladder and Timing Port Closure. SRAM Bleed Kit for maintaining SRAM disc brakes. This can also be useful in getting rid of some unwanted squishiness, but decompression of the fluid to remove lurking air bubbles is often the key to that problem. At some point it will work even though you did it exactly the same every time and you can’t, for the life of you, figure out why that time was different and they now feel reasonable (which by SRAM standards is still a bit too much lever pull and a little mushy).The final solution to this problem is to get rid of these brakes.Question one is: are you installing new pads or using your old ones? Nur ein Entlüftungskit bringt nicht viel ohne Bremse – und irgendeine Bremse müssen wir ja nehmen, also nehmen wir natürlich die Schönste. Guide to bleeding Sram Guide R brakes. The caliper pad pocket has narrowed and connection points around the body bolts have been made larger to result in less caliper flex and provide more direct power transfer. The Level is a two-piston brake that was introduced in 2016. It gets the same new caliper as the G2 RSC, that new brake pad compound and pivot bearings in the lever too.The Code lineup of brakes have long been aimed at the downhill rider but with enduro riders and e-bike riders looking for more powerful brakes, its not uncommon to see them on long travel trail bikes and electric ones too.The entry-level Code R also gets Bleeding Edge tech, the Expandable bladder, Timing Port Closure and Heat Shield all talked about earlier in this article.
