Review on SRAM No Dot 5.1 Brake Bleed Kit for Bicycles by David Mills

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extremely complete kit but may not be necessary if you are also ordering new brakes

This kit is *very complete* as it will most likely fit any hydraulic brake kit that SRAM or Avid have produced. To be honest, that's a bit of an exaggeration. I would have preferred to see one that was only for newer brakes and maybe a little cheaper. Note: If you are ordering this with new SRAM brakes you can probably skip this kit and just get the DOT kit with fluid and syringe which includes the bleeding edge adapter. New SRAM box brakes (at least my G2 RSC) come with small tools, bleeders, spare olives etc. So now I have three copies of some stuff that I only need once. It has many small parts, spare parts and tools. Sentence. When I ordered a kit in Fall 2020, mine had fewer invisible olives than the photos but it did have a small bottle of SRAM brake fluid in it. (Listing and some customers mentioned their kit does not include liquid)

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
