Bleedkit.com Premium Edge Bleed Kit

Both bleed-block sizes ship in the Premium Edge kit, which is the version of the Edge-only kit that covers a workshop running fully on the 2017+ Bleeding Edge SRAM family; no older M5-port brakes still on the bench, but enough variety inside the Edge family to need both the 4.0 mm older-style block and the 5.0 mm Maven block. The lever and caliper assemblies are the same as the Basic Edge kit; the difference is the small-parts coverage that lets a single kit handle a Maven this morning and a Code-family bike this afternoon without a second box.

What's in the kit

Two 20 ml Becton & Dickinson syringes drive the bleed at the lever and caliper ends. One M5 assembly handles the SRAM lever's funnel thread. One Edge assembly fits the Bleeding Edge caliper port. The 4.0 mm bleed block covers Code, Level, Guide, G2, Force AXS, and Red AXS; the 5.0 mm block covers the modern Maven family. A Torx T10 wrench, a 25 cm Velcro strap for tying the caliper syringe to the frame during the bleed, spare O-rings, and a pair of size-L nitrile gloves complete the kit.

Compatibility

The kit fits the latest SRAM 2017+ hydraulic brakes with a Bleeding Edge bleed port: SRAM Code (RSC, R, Ultimate, Silver, Bronze), SRAM Level, Guide, G2, Force AXS, Red AXS, and the modern Maven family (Ultimate Expert, Ultimate, Silver, Bronze). It does not fit the older SRAM hydraulic brakes with an M5 bleed port; those need both M5-port assemblies, which live in the Workshop SRAM and Basic SRAM kits. It does not fit Avid Elixir / Juicy or older Formula hydraulics, which predate the Bleeding Edge port. The fluid is sold separately, with the standard SRAM split: DOT 5.1 for the Code-family side, SRAM Maxima Mineral Brake Oil for Maven and DB8.

Bleedkit, since 2011

Bleedkit.com builds per-brake-system kits in Ljubljana, Slovenia and has done so since 2011; distribution through Euro Toolworks is the same path that brings Unior cycling tools to the North American market. Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and is the official technical partner of multiple World Tour and downhill teams. The Premium Edge kit is the Edge-only kit with both blocks in the same box, which is the version a workshop running fully on modern SRAM reaches for when the Maven and Code-family bikes share the same rotation.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The block call on a Maven is a hardware call, not a feel call. The 5.0 mm Maven block seats against a different caliper geometry than the 4.0 mm older Edge-port block; the wrong block in a Maven caliper will sit visibly off, and the bleed feel at the lever will be unstable through the pull. If the block does not seat square against the caliper face, stop the bleed, switch blocks, and start the gravity cycle over. The block is the dimensional reference the bleed runs against; getting it right at the start is the whole job.

Whether the Premium Edge fits your shop, or whether the Workshop SRAM (older M5 brakes still in the rotation) or the Basic Edge (block sold separately) is the better fit, is laid out in our compatibility guide: Which bleed kit fits Shimano R9300, Ultegra R8270, and SRAM Maven Bronze →
