Review on SRAM No Dot 5.1 Brake Bleed Kit for Bicycles by Rick Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for Energy Elixir

COVID-19 means my local bike shop that I have trusted in the past has bled the Energy Elixir brakes on my Stumpy FSR comp. I decided it was time to give it a try since I'm servicing the rest of my bike. I tried using an inexpensive brake bleed kit but it sucked so I bought this official one. Doesn't matter! I had a YouTube Sram video on repeat so I could catch every step without taking my gloves off. The kit included DOT fluid so you don't have to buy it yourself. Definitely comfortable. But there were no gloves in the kit, which is worth noting. Turns out, bleeding the brakes isn't that bad if you're careful, and this kit makes it easy to ensure you've set up your dual syringe system properly.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • No Automatic
