Just like how the huge number of variables in the hydraulic brake system itself contributes to the overall mystery of mountain bike disc brakes, there are a lot of variables in brake tuning and setup, too. From brake pad choice and the essential bed-in procedure to the importance of lever setup, a few simple changes can help you get more out of your brakes. Perfect your ride.

I did bed in my codes wrong and thought I will replace them. But I ran out of money so I tried to fix them. After proper bedding I now love sram codes and Iam very happy with them and they made me ride better - gave me perfect control of braking force. Bedding in is most important on Sram. Most people I know hate sram brakes and I was one of them too - only because missed bed-in process.

Awesome video!! Thoroughly fascinating and so well shot and put together ❤ A very overlooked but incredibly important part of any bike!! Well done as usual SRAM 👏🏻

Good Video Sram! Gonna bed my brakes in next time but they feel solid and aren't squealing so I'm happy with it.

@tinkeringcyclist9314 2 года назад

Thanks for dumbing that down! It also validates the way I have been doing it for years.

@fademasterfade227 2 года назад

Thanks, I did not understand the bedding in process prior to watching this and I've previously made the mistake of switching pad material and using the same rotors as I did not understand the transfer of pad material onto the rotor.

@mtbal5913 2 года назад

Fully agree. @sram I am waiting for brake levers with adjustable shapes. Maybe replaceable ones and you can choose between a set of shapes.

@Magoo71 2 года назад

I use SRAM/Rockshox on all my Suspension components....But I really enjoy using Hope Brakes for their performance and feel....Adjust reach and bite points on the fly! Love their Levers for that!

Aside from usefulness of this video I have to admit that Codes RSC are hands down best brakes on the market. I love how far SRAM has gone with their brakes after terrible Elixirs.

@einundsiebenziger5488 2 года назад

Features a lot of useful tips. Yet, the order is a bit weird. The lever position can be adjusted when buying the bike/new brakes. The bedding of pads can only be done when the bike has left the shop, so I'd put lever position first, then the bedding process. Otherwise I am really impressed how un-commercial a product series made a particular company can be.

@chisauking Год назад

I was watching this, hoping they would cover how to adjust the bite point on my db8. Just bought my bike that came with the db8 and you have to pull the lever quite in before it bites

@bowwave59 2 года назад

What happens when you change your pads? Now you have old brake material on the rotor and a new pad to bed in. What do you clean the rotor with If you have contaminated rotor what do you clean it with. I had a seal go and rotor needs cleaning so as not to mess up new pads.

@michaelrodgers5105 2 года назад

What do you need brakes for?

@webbysadventure3178 2 года назад

my problem with code rsc is you have to bleed those buggers every 10th ride coz they loose all power and feeling and in hot weather they turn mushy they are good cold weather brakes

@DougMayer 2 года назад

Make sure there is DOT compatible grease on the threaded hose barrel at the lever. Common spot where air can get in the system on Sram brakes.

@janniekvanmourik1628 2 года назад

I have got a question if you want to switch from pad compound can you clean your brake discs rotors so that you dont have to buy new rotors?

@DougMayer 2 года назад

Yes, as long as the rotors aren't specific for resin/organic pads only. I lightly sand the rotor (medium grit, 200ish) then clean thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. Fresh pads can be rubbed together to prepare the braking material, while used pads needing a refresh can be lightly sanded with clean sandpaper.

@oldmanstumpie1061 2 года назад

Good vid but you left out the adjustment of the levers by sliding them along the bars. So many people have them jammed up against the grips, which is how bike shops seem to assemble them.

@corismsyn 2 года назад

I have a new bike and I haven't done the bed in process. I've done a handful of quick rides in flat mellow terrain, the last 2 in wet snow and the brakes were squealing. Can I still do the bed in process at this point? How do I check if it's glazed? If it's glazed can I still bed them in or do I need to do something to the rotors first?

@n8s59 2 года назад

If you want full power, replacing the pads/ rotor is your best bet. If you skipped the bed-in there's no going back.

@marcemman2831 2 года назад

try sanding down the rotor and brake pads with a fine sand paper of maybe 800-1000 and try to bed them in again

@TheNotoriousMIC 2 года назад

Give your rotors and pads a good clean with hot soapy water. I sometimes even put them in the dishwasher. Rub your pads together under warm water and then just repeat the bedding in process again and your good to go.

@ernst_42 2 года назад

Sram please start to rollout the bitepoint adjust on all pricepoints of your breaks. it‘s just horrible to have a bike equipped with a code R breaks where the bitepont is so far from the initial starting position. Also give riders the opportunity to own breaks that instantly engage not let the lever travel from the first slight bite to fullout lockout over 2 cm…. that is just horrible I know that is your super “modulation” of the breaking. But there are so many riders who just hate this characteristics .

@phanderstorm0835 2 года назад

Hey, question for everybody. My rear brake leaver feels a lot more softer than the front and when I am pulling it it comes closer to the handlebar then the front. What is the problem? What should I do to repaire it? Bad bleed?

Not necessarily a bad bleed unless it feels spongy, but it sounds like you've got less fluid in the line than on your front brake.

@85rengi 2 года назад

If your brake is bleeded correctly, this is partly normal. Your brake line acts like a spring and a longer line means more deflection. I´ve been using a kevlar reinfoced break line to compensate for that.

No issues with assembly for me ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

@Lyzarr Месяц назад

Yeah, show how importent it is to setup the brakes properly, and on the other hand produce those shitty GX brakes which totally lack one of the most important settings: the contact point. Ugly and bad working brakes.
