The rest of the family — Code, Level, Guide, G2, and the Force \/ Red AXS road brakes — still takes DOT 5.1. The complication arrives at the caliper end too: SRAM's Bleeding Edge port spec moved to a thicker bleed block when Maven launched, and the Maven Bronze refresh in 2025–26 locked the new 5.0 mm block as the production-volume pattern. Older Code calipers still take the 4.0 mm block. Two blocks ship in the Ultimate SRAM Bleed Kit, one for each spec, so a workshop running a mixed Code-and-Maven fleet doesn't have to track which kit fits which year of caliper.

The bench surface needs a clean rag underneath before the syringe goes on, and the bottle of DOT needs to go back into a sealed container the second the bleed is complete. A DOT bleed left open to shop air for ten minutes has already absorbed enough moisture to lower the boiling point of the fluid; on a hot descent that translates to brake fade you can feel. On a Maven or DB8 bleed (Maxima Mineral Brake Oil), the contamination boundary is the opposite direction — a syringe that has touched DOT will attack the mineral-oil seal stack on contact, so a Maven kit and a DOT kit live in separate drawers or get a fresh set of syringes between fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether your specific SRAM caliper takes the 4.0 mm or 5.0 mm block, and how the Maven Bronze refresh changed the calculation, is covered in our compatibility walk-through: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/tech-tips\/which-bleed-kit-fits-shimano-r9300-sram-maven-2026\"\u003eWhich bleed kit fits Shimano R9300, Ultegra R8270, and SRAM Maven Bronze →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bleedkit.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40285117972524,"sku":"BK-80035","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/5786\/5260\/products\/BK-80035_main-photo-white_2400px.jpg?v=1651687692"},{"product_id":"bleedkit-com-bleed-kit-for-sram-workshop","title":"Bleedkit.com Bleed Kit for SRAM - Workshop","description":"\u003cp\u003eA SRAM workshop runs on two block sizes and one Edge fitting.

A reasonable shop rule: write the open-date on the bottle with a Sharpie, replace once it has been open for 12 months even if fluid is left.
