Can I "lever bleed" a newer set of Sram Code RSC? I want to replace pads and didn't realize the newer srams have this bleeding edge port on the caliper. My old bleed kit won't work for caliper, but the lever port is the same as before I think?

Haven't trimmed hose and the levers aren't super soft or anything, but I want to put in new pads front and rear. Race in a couple days.
Can I just push the cylinders back and pop in new pads? Haven't fucked with Srams in like 5 years.

The lever end has a "traditional" fitting, the "Bleeding edge" fittings are only in the caliper ends.
You "can" do a lever only bleed. It will help if there is any air in the lever side, it will be difficult to get any air out of the caliper end from a lever only bleed. Just do a lot of push and pulls with the syringe and cycle the lever in and out.

Hey toast, did you put that 38 in a vice befire you sent it to fox? Im pretty sure the nasty creak us coming from my 38. Cranking on the pedals and pulling on the bars is when it happens . Soneone suggested i put it in a vice and give it a twist

I did, but I couldn't get it to creak in the vice. But if I held my bike vertical on the front wheel and pushed down, I was pretty clearly getting a (bad) creak from the headset region.
Sent the fork back, fox pressed a new csu, and it was fine after that.
I know a few other people that have gotten similar creaks in their 38.

Ok thanks. Ill try that. With all the moon dust i went for my headset first and cleaned and greased everything. Wasnt that. Pf bb but the bike is basically new. Carbon bar too but they dont usually creak that loud. Ill try the vertical thing. Youre description in your review and the extra volume creak makes me think its the fork as i suspected

That's exactly what my 36 does. I suspected that it's the CSU, not some issue with headset (it happens on multiple bikes), but nice to know I'm not crazy. I can't wait to get rid of it. It's really distracting any time I dive into a berm or g-out hard when it makes this loud crack.

My 34 did that. Shop sent it to Fox, they replaced the CSU, and fortunately were out of standard stanchions, so they were replaced with Kashima.
Which mad it a little easier to immediately sell.

What lightweight 203mm 6-bolt rotor? Not looking for the most bling, just something that fits the "lighter than most without being unreasonably expensive" billing.
The only 203mm rotor my shop had was an SLX, and in my hand it seemed surprisingly heavy. Or are they all about the same weight?
To be paired with SLX 2-piston brakes, so not the stoppiest, but possibly the sloppiest ..._______________________________________________

SRAM centerline is the best bang for the buck, IMO. (200mm)
I never thought the 1.5mm would make a damn difference.Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

Cool, thanks!
Although I only want it if I will draw every female elephant within a 100 mile radius to my local trail when braking. I’ll be a rock star, yes?_______________________________________________

I think that’s the calipers that’s squawk, not the rotors.
