Bleedkit.com Basic Bleed Kit

A bare-essentials SRAM kit covers both port styles and skips the rest. The Basic SRAM kit ships two M5 funnels for the older SRAM lever thread and one Edge assembly for the 2017+ Bleeding Edge caliper port, which between them reach every SRAM hydraulic brake in current and recent production. What the kit does not carry is the workshop's bleed blocks, the fluid, or the small-parts grab bag; those are the difference between the Basic kit and the Workshop SRAM, and the home mechanic with one or two SRAM bikes does not pay for them.

What's in the kit

Two 20 ml Becton & Dickinson syringes drive the bleed. Two M5 assemblies handle the older SRAM lever's M5 funnel thread; one Edge assembly handles the Bleeding Edge caliper port that 2017+ SRAM hydraulics use. Spare O-rings round out the box. The kit does not include a bleed block (sold separately, sized to the brake family) and does not include fluid (sold separately, DOT 5.1 for Code-family or Maxima Mineral for Maven).

Compatibility

The kit fits every current and recent SRAM hydraulic brake: SRAM Code (RSC, R, Ultimate, Silver, Bronze), Level, Guide, G2, Force AXS, Red AXS, plus the modern Maven family (Ultimate Expert, Ultimate, Silver, Bronze) and the Avid Elixir / Juicy legacy 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; the rest of the SRAM hydraulic family plus Avid and older Formula take DOT 5.1.

From the Ljubljana bench, 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 Basic SRAM kit reaches every SRAM hydraulic family with the funnel-and-Edge set that does the actual fluid work, and trusts the home mechanic to pair it with the block and fluid the bike on the stand needs.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The two-M5 layout on this kit is what surprises Workshop SRAM owners switching down to it for travel: there is no Edge-side-as-lever swap in the workflow. One M5 funnels the lever, one M5 is a backup for the same role on a second bike, and the Edge assembly stays on the caliper side. Set the assemblies up before draining anything; mid-bleed assembly-swaps cost more time than building the kit out at the start.

Whether the Basic SRAM is sized right for your bike or whether the Workshop SRAM (TPX syringes plus both blocks) is the upgrade worth making is laid out in our compatibility guide: Which bleed kit fits Shimano R9300, Ultegra R8270, and SRAM Maven Bronze →
