Cool glad to hear it helped. So I figured out how to bleed the sram mineral brakes the proper way without the $80 tool, just need 2 sets of generic syringes

I always use my bleed kit to suck all the fluid out before removing internal routed hoses , these DB8 are the easiest sram brakes I've ever bleed but that might change when I use my bleeding edge to bleed my code r

If it can help the bleed port thread you'll need for the fitting is m4 x 0.7 I had it in a roadbike kit, probably for Campagnolo, not sure. *Little update March 2024; I've been riding in a lot of shitty wintery mud so I figured I'd rebled them, the fluid was dark asf, the contamination probably came from the seals around the pistons so I opened the rear one, geez there was a lot of crap around the seals. I cleaned the best I could no visible scouring but the piston material is weird not really ceramic or typical nylon more like a hard polycarbonate... Pwetty weird stuff

4:51, 5:07 & 11:46 The rear bottom spherical washer (light gray) on the caliper mount seems to be upside-down, which means it doesn't do its job properly and may get damaged under stress and vibration. But otherwise, good job.

Could you do a lever bleed like a shimano brake? So just add the cup put some fluid in it and flick til bubbles clear?

would you know of this still has that plastic piston plunger on the lever? when the brake is left under the heat of the sun the plastic piston swells which makes the lever stuck. issue on previous sram brakesets

I feel like that hasn't been a problem in a really long time. All of our (10) bikes have some version of SRAM brake on them and the only ones I ever had the sticky lever piston with were a set of 2015 Guide RS's.

Put the Codes back on! The DB8's are not better. From my own experience of using both, I will be going back to the Code RSC's.

I'm running them back to back with the codes RSC there's not a significant difference the lewis and saints need way less lever effort than both sram offerings but I'd rather have what ppl call "modulation" I ride a lot of heavy grade (mountainous Canadian area) and I never got them to fade, not unlike the mt5's they replaced 💀
