Product Details

Overview & Technology

Avid Elixir 5/3 Lever Split Clamp Kit (SRAM model ID: DB-SPP-A0, MPN 11.5015.029.030) is the OEM replacement clamp kit designed to restore the correct mounting and alignment of your Elixir-style brake levers. The kit ships with the split clamp and matching bolts so you can replace a damaged or stripped clamp without having to buy a full lever body. The clamp itself is finished in a durable black anodized coating to resist corrosion and abrasion from everyday trail use. Bolts are steel hardware for reliable clamping force over time; the split design lets you install or remove the clamp around handlebars without sliding grips or controls off the bar—perfect for fast trailside swaps or workshop repairs.

Key Features & Benefits

What you get: the split clamp, mounting bolts, and OEM-fit geometry matched to Avid Elixir 5 and 3 lever bodies. This is a direct-fit replacement, manufactured to the same tolerances as the original part for bolt-hole alignment and lever pivot clearance. • Direct OEM replacement: restores factory fit and lever alignment. • Split clamp design: installs without removing grips or cables—easy and fast. • Durable finish: black anodized clamp surface with steel bolts for long-term corrosion resistance. • Precision fit: engineered for correct lever pivot and reach settings on Elixir 5/3, DB 3/1 and Level T levers.

Fit, Compatibility & Specifications

This kit is specified for Avid Elixir 5 and Elixir 3 brake levers and is also compatible with DB 3/1 and Level T lever families that share the same clamp interface. Manufacturer part number: 11.5015.029.030 and SRAM model ID: DB-SPP-A0. It’s the same replacement clamp used by Avid to ensure correct lever geometry. Shipping dimensions are compact (5" x 4.5" x 0.5") and the kit weight is 0.31 lb—lightweight enough not to affect bar balance. Before ordering, confirm your lever family and measure bar clamp area if your cockpit uses non-standard accessories. If in doubt, bring your lever to the shop or compare part numbers to ensure a perfect match.

Who This Is For

This split clamp kit is ideal for mountain bikers, home mechanics, and bike shops who need a reliable OEM replacement for worn, damaged, or stripped lever clamps on Avid Elixir 5/3 and compatible levers. It’s a cost-effective repair option versus replacing a full lever assembly. If you ride aggressively, swap parts frequently, or rebuild used bikes, having this clamp on-hand lets you get brakes back to correct function quickly. Mechanics who maintain fleets or rental bikes will appreciate the ease-of-install and OEM fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this clamp fit my Elixir 1/3/5 lever?

This split clamp kit is specified for Elixir 5 and Elixir 3 lever bodies and is compatible with DB 3/1 and Level T levers that share the same clamp interface. For Elixir 1 or other older/variant levers, check your lever’s part number or compare mounting geometry to confirm compatibility.

Are the bolts included and what material are they?

Yes—the kit includes the clamp and the required mounting bolts. The clamp has a durable black anodized finish while the included bolts are steel hardware for secure, long-term clamping performance.

Can I install this without removing my grips or cables?

Yes. The split clamp design allows you to open the clamp around the handlebar, so you typically don’t need to remove grips or slide other controls off the bar—making trailside or workshop installs faster and simpler.

Do I need to re-bleed brakes after replacing the clamp?

Replacing the clamp itself does not affect the hydraulic circuit, so a bleed is usually not required. However, if you disturb the hose routing, twist the lever body significantly, or the lever action feels different, perform a quick function check and bleed if necessary.

What torque should I use on the clamp bolts?

Always follow the lever manufacturer’s torque recommendations where available. If the spec is not handy, a common safe range for small brake clamp bolts is around 3–6 Nm. Use a calibrated torque wrench and avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage.

Can I use this clamp on drop bars or other handlebars?

This clamp is designed for mountain bike brake lever mounting geometry. It may not properly fit aero or drop-bar clamp shapes—verify the lever family and bar diameter before attempting to use it on non-standard handlebars.

Buying Guide

When replacing a brake lever clamp, prioritize OEM-fit parts to preserve lever geometry and safe brake operation. Confirm the lever family (Elixir 5/3, DB 3/1, Level T) and part numbers—this kit is sold as a direct replacement to simplify repairs and keep your hydraulic brake action factory-correct. Consider whether you need any additional hardware or a bleed kit while you work. The split clamp makes installation quicker, but always use a torque wrench and follow manufacturer torque specs for secure, consistent clamping.
