Which SRAM brake set is best for trail riding?
For trail riding, the SRAM Code R brake set, or Guide T brake set offers the ideal balance of power, reliability, and value. Code R provides 4-piston hydraulic disc power for technical descents, while Guide T delivers excellent 2-piston performance with tool-free reach adjustment. Both feature the durability and consistent performance needed for regular trail adventures.
How do I bleed my SRAM hydraulic brakes?
SRAM hydraulic brakes require specific brake bleeding kits designed for each brake model. Use a Maven bleed kit for Maven brakes, Code brake bleed kit for Code series, or the appropriate model-specific kit. Always follow SRAM's bleeding procedures and use genuine DOT fluid or mineral oil as specified for your brake model.
Are SRAM brake pads compatible across different series?
SRAM brake pad compatibility depends on the specific brake model rather than series. Maven, Code, and some Guide models use different pad shapes and compounds. Always check your brake model number and use SRAM's compatibility guide to ensure proper pad selection for optimal performance and safety.
How often should I bleed my SRAM brakes?
SRAM brakes should be bled annually or when you notice spongy lever feel, reduced power, or air bubbles in the brake lines. Frequent riders in harsh conditions may need bleeding every 6-8 months. Use SRAM's specific bleed procedures and genuine DOT fluid for the best results.
What rotor sizes work with SRAM brake sets?
SRAM brake sets are compatible with various rotor sizes. Most systems work with HS2 160mm, HS2 200mm, and HS2 220mm rotors. Maven and Code series handle larger rotors for maximum heat dissipation, while Guide and Level series typically use 160-200mm rotors. Centerline rotors offer lightweight alternatives with excellent cooling performance.
What's the difference between Maven Ultimate, Silver, and bronze brake sets?
Maven Ultimate brake set features premium materials, advanced adjustability, and the highest level of performance with expert-level components. Maven Silver offers core Maven technology with slightly simplified features at a mid-tier price point, while Maven Bronze provides flagship Maven performance at the most accessible price point. All maintain the same fundamental Maven power and reliability with model-specific brake pads and bleed kit compatibility.
