Bleedkit.com Bleed Kit for SRAM

A SRAM workshop runs on two block sizes and one Edge fitting. The 4.0 mm block fits the older Code-family calipers and the Avid Elixir / Juicy legacy; the 5.0 mm block fits the 2024+ Maven family. Both seat against the Bleeding Edge caliper port through the same Edge assembly, which is the connector the SRAM kit is built around. Workshop Edition adds TPX-bodied syringes for the syringe-cadence math that workshops live by, plus both bleed blocks in the same box, and asks the mechanic to bring their own fluid; DOT 5.1 for the Code-family side, mineral oil for the Maven side.

What's in the kit

Two 20 ml TPX syringes drive the bleed; one terminates in an M5 assembly for the SRAM lever's older M5 funnel thread, and the second can be set up with the Edge assembly for the Bleeding Edge caliper port. A second M5 assembly is included as the lever-side funnel. Both bleed blocks ship in the kit: the 4.0 mm older-style block for Code / Avid / older Formula calipers, and the latest-generation block for the modern 5.0 mm Maven caliper. A Torx T10 wrench, a 25 cm Velcro strap for tying the caliper syringe to the frame, spare O-rings, and a pair of size-L nitrile gloves complete the kit.

Compatibility

The kit covers every current and recent SRAM hydraulic brake: SRAM Maven (Ultimate Expert, Ultimate, Silver, Bronze), SRAM Code (RSC, R, Ultimate, Silver, Bronze), SRAM Level, Guide, G2, Force AXS, Red AXS, plus all Avid Elixir and Juicy generations and the older Formula hydraulics (Oro, C1, R1, R0, K24, K18). It does not fit Formula Cura, which uses a Cura-specific port outside the Bleeding Edge fitting pattern. The fluid call splits on the brake family: Maven and DB8 take SRAM Maxima Mineral Brake Oil; everything else SRAM takes DOT 5.1.

Bleedkit since 2011, distributed by Euro Toolworks

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 Workshop SRAM kit is the bring-your-own-fluid version of the family: one box covers both block sizes and the Edge fitting, leaves the DOT-versus-mineral call to the mechanic at the bench, and trusts the workshop to keep its DOT syringe and mineral syringe in separate drawers.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The contamination rule that matters most on a SRAM bench is the one between DOT 5.1 and Maxima Mineral. A syringe that has touched DOT cannot then touch a Maven without attacking the mineral-oil seal stack; the reverse holds in the other direction. The Workshop kit ships with two M5 assemblies and one Edge assembly precisely so the shop can dedicate one path to DOT and one path to mineral, or replace the syringes between fluid jobs.

Whether the Workshop SRAM kit fits your shop better than the Workshop DOT (which ships with the Liqui Moly DOT 5.1 included) or the Ultimate (a different feature set on the SRAM Edge family) is laid out in our compatibility guide: Which bleed kit fits Shimano R9300, Ultegra R8270, and SRAM Maven Bronze →
